1/21/18 - Annotated Bibliography for Survey of Palestinian Refugees

This source comes from the seminal research body for Palestinian refugees, BADIL Resource Center for Residency and Refugee Rights in its Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons. The publication reviews a wide range of aspects of the refugee experience among Palestinians and as described by the introduction this publication will "thus explore the substantive elements of displacement and the methods employed in the displacement of Palestinians" (iii).

This survey focuses particularly on something called "the protection gap" which is described as the failure by Israel and the international community to provide the adequate protections and standards of living that the Palestinian people are entitled to (iii). Finally, it reviews the flaws inherent in the current framework for peace and the impacts of the failures and flaws on the community itself.

The greatest addition this source brings to my paper is unique among surveys and publications of the community of Palestinian refugees and in fact this edition of the survey itself, as it has been published routinely since 2002. In this edition the survey addresses the feelings, opinions, and perceptions of members of the community about the peace process, the framework in place for protections, and their opinions about the crisis itself. Within the polls conducted in the survey are boundless answers and summaries of the opinions of refugees on a number of the questions that I posed in my rationale. It addresses knowledge of the peace process, the methodologies used, and the bodies involved in assisting refugees like UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.
