This report is submitted on behalf of Defence for Children International–Palestine Section (DCI-Palestine), a national section of the international non-governmental child rights organisation and movement, Defence for Children International, established in 1979, with consultative status with ECOSOC. 2
DCI-Palestine is a non-governmental, non-profit, independent Palestinian organisation established in 1992. Its vision is "A Palestinian community fit for all children" – a community that is free and independent, where justice, equality and respect for human dignity prevail; and where children can enjoy and exercise their human rights without any kind of discrimination. DCI-Palestine‟s mission is to promote and protect the rights of Palestinian children in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international, regional and local standards. DCI-Palestine implements five thematic programmes, which are interrelated and all together contribute to the creation of a comprehensive protective environment for children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory:
Protection of Children Victims of Community/Domestic Violence;
Protection of Children in Conflict with the Law;
Protection of Child Political Detainees;
Child Participation and Community Mobilisation; and
Accountability.
On the Palestinian Authority (PA) level, DCI-Palestine lobbies for better child protection legislation and implementation of the rule of law. In addition, DCI-Palestine focuses on strengthening the commitment and capacity of key stakeholders, such as policymakers, civil society and the media, to support child rights. DCI-Palestine works to improve the accountability of the main duty-bearers of Palestinian children‟ rights, namely Israel and the PA, through the collection of evidence, research, general advocacy and lobbying work. Finally, DCI-Palestine provides free legal assistance to children prosecuted in Israeli military courts.
