Abstract

Amidst the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Palestinian territories grapple with a myriad of entrenched human rights violations. This paper delves into the critical examination of the United Nations' (UN) role in addressing these pervasive issues. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of UN mechanisms in documenting and addressing human rights abuses perpetrated within Palestine. Through meticulous research and analysis, this paper seeks to identify the persistent challenges hindering effective UN intervention, including political deadlock, structural impediments, and geopolitical complexities. Furthermore, it aims to uncover potential avenues for enhancing the UN’s impact, such as bolstering accountability mechanisms, fostering dialogue between Israel and Palestine, and promoting adherence to international law. By offering nuanced insights and pragmatic suggestions, this research endeavors to contribute to the ongoing discourse on safeguarding human rights and advancing peace and justice in the Palestinian territories.
