In March 2020, Law for Palestine (L4P) was officially established, formally registering in both the United Kingdom (registration number 12518953) and Sweden (registration number 802535-8592). As a youth-led, non-profit human rights organization, L4P’s inception unfolded when a collective of passionate young individuals united with the shared goal of filling the gap in the work for human rights and international law concerning the Question of Palestine.
The organization’s primary objectives include building an effective global network of legal professionals interested in the Question of Palestine, providing enriched, multifaceted, and objective legal content on Palestine-Israel, and positively engaging the directly affected communities by enhancing their legal capacity and connecting them with international legal mechanisms.
L4P also seeks to raise awareness and stimulate discussion about the Palestine-Israeli occupation within the realms of international law and human rights. This involves presenting diverse viewpoints and establishing a comprehensive system to collect and record all developments and materials related to international law and the Question of Palestine.
Our team comprises experts, scholars, researchers, and qualified interns from across the globe. Operating primarily on a pro bono basis, our youth-led organization thrives on the dedication of members who contribute their time, bound by a shared commitment to L4P’s mission.
In a short period, L4P has emerged as a credible source of information and a hub for discussion among international law scholars and professionals interested in the Question of Palestine. In July 2022, L4P received accreditation from the UN Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. Moreover, Law for Palestine has cultivated a wide network of partner organizations and universities globally, including partnerships with United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) members to conduct joint activities in the UN and the Human Rights Council.
The organization is currently working on these major projects:
Since the beginning of 2020, L4P has been issuing a weekly report in Arabic and English reviewing the legal dynamics of the Question of Palestine and covering every legal and judicial development from local and international courts and bodies as well as any academic or NGO publication or activity related to Palestine-Israeli occupation and international law. The report aims to be the main reference for any update related to the Question of Palestine from a legal perspective. Subscribe to get the “Palestine’s Legal Scene” weekly report.
