JLAC's Debut Book Ceremony "We Have Names and We Have a Homeland"  

 

Under the auspices of the Palestinian Prime Minister Dr. Salam Fayyad, the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center- JLAC launched its debut ceremony for the book entitled "We Have Names and We Have a Homeland". 

 The ceremony took place at the Ramallah Cultural Palace at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday February 7, 2010, where over 250 guests attended the commemoration.

Local and international media, war victims' families from various Palestinian Governances, delegated Palestinian and international representatives, and honored special guests were in attendance. Dr. Fayyad vowed his continued support of JLAC's efforts in its "National Campaign in the Retrieval of Palestinian and Arab War Victims' Bodies and the Disclosure for Those Missing", as well as in the promotion and publicity of the National Campaign's lightened book entitled "We Have Names and We Have a Homeland.

 

The book was developed as to bring to light and affirm that, indeed, behind every number there is a person and a family that grieves at their loss and at being deprived the right of burying them. The book serves to catalogue 302 cases of deceased and missing persons whose bodies remain withheld in Israeli custody, as well as features excerpts from related international humanitarian laws and existing Israeli policies and practices.
