at www.luminosoa.org. The leadership and legacy of al-Haq, from its
origins in Palestine to its international impact Â
Established in Ramallah in 1979, al-Haq was the first Palestinian
human rights organization and one of the first such organizations
in the Arab world. This inside history explores how al-Haq
initiated methodologies in law and practice that were ahead of its
time and that proved foundational for many strands of today’s
human rights work in Palestine and elsewhere. Lynn Welchman looks
at both al-Haq’s history and legacy to explore such questions as:
Why would one set up a human rights organization under military
occupation? How would one go about promoting the rule of law in a
Palestinian society deleteriously served by the law and with every
reason to distrust those charged with implementing its protections?
How would one work to educate overseas allies and activate
international law in defense of Palestinian rights? This revelatory
story speaks to the practice of local human rights organizations
and their impact on international groups. Â
