Seminar Three

 

Closing the Gaps: From Protection to Durable Solutions for Palestinian Refugees

Hosted by the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic and Political Studies 

 

5-8 March 2004
 

Severe gaps exist in protection currently available for Palestinian refugees and displaced persons, mainly due to the absence of mechanisms – international and regional – with an explicit protection mandate, as well as lack of clarity about strategies that could link day-to-day protection with efforts for rights-based durable solutions for Palestinian refugees. The seminar aimed to identify major gaps in protection available for Palestinian refugees and potential roles for international and regional actors, review proposals and initiatives aimed at the improvement of protection, and achieve maximum consensus about strategies that could both enhance protection and support rights-based durable solutions for Palestinian refugees.
