Abstract
After providing a brief historical background of the Arab-Israeli conflict, this Note will address the difficulties of the application of international law to the educational rights of Palestinians under military occupation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The first issue that needs to be determined is the protection of educational rights under the Fourth Geneva Convention and its applicability to the present situation. The second issue addressed is the protection of education rights under various human rights law instruments. The third issue addressed is Israel’s position on the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention and international human rights law. The fourth issue addressed is suggestions or changes tried by the United Nations and non-governmental organizations to bring educational rights to Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. Finally, this Note will address new suggestions for change to bring educational rights to Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.
