Abstract

The following paper applies a constructivist model for the socialization of international human rights norms to the Israeli case. It uses the spiral model, suggested by Risse, Ropp and Sikkink (1999), which outlines the stages of socialization and the different forces working together to bring a change in the policies of norm violating governments. I examine human rights violations of the Palestinians in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967, and offer two major theoretical extensions to the spiral model: (1) the model is applicable for democracies, and carries some distinct characteristics and variations when applied to them; and (2) the spiral model is more "fluid" than what Risse et al. propose, that is to say that different violations of human rights and the processes of change in these violations are more segmented and reversible than what is argued by the authors. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Children have been affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for several generations. Recent reports1 state that they are subject to a number of grave violations, ranging from killing and maiming to detention and ill-treatment. The monitoring and reporting mechanism (MRM) for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1612 (2005), although not formally mandated in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), has been successfully adapted and used by humanitarian and human rights agencies to support monitoring, reporting, and responding to violations against children. However, agencies in Israel and the oPt face a number of challenges in doing so, which are common in other countries where the MRM is employed. These include limited recognition and understanding of the issues, insufficient resources, and a difficult operational environment. Despite these challenges, local adaptation of the mechanism to reflect the specific situation of children and close collaboration have enabled these agencies to monitor and respond to violations against children in a more effective manner.
