Civic & Social Organization - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States
BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights was established in 1998 to defend and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees and displaced persons regardless of where they reside or when they were displaced. BADIL believes the only feasible and durable solution is a rights-based solution; one derived from and built upon international law, mainly; international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and international refugee law. Our vision, mission, programs, and relationships are defined by our Palestinian identity, the principles of the international law frameworks, and the values of the organization: Integrity, partnership equality and respect for international law and human rights. We seek to strengthen the resilience of the Palestinian people and advance the viability of their individual and collective rights on this basis. To advance a human rights-based solution, BADIL believes that it is necessary utilize the combination of empowering rights holders and influencing decision makers to encourage a rights-based solution. Empowerment of rights holders is carried out through awareness raising, training, educational, cultural, and mobilization actions and programs. Influencing duty bearers is conducted through networking, campaigning, and legal advocacy activities. BADIL implements its own rights-based campaigns and participates in joint campaigns with its partners and through its memberships in various coalitions and networks.BADIL is guided by a firm belief in the principles of equality, justice and human rights as enshrined in international law and in the role of collective action by civil society in bringing about social and political change through conceptualization of a rights-based approach to ongoing Palestinian displacement, a participatory and inclusive approach, and a bottom-up strategy for policy change.
