The Palestinian refugee case is the largest and one of the longest standing refugee cases in the world today. More than 6 million persons, comprising around three-quarters of the Palestinian people, and nearly one-third of the global refugee population, remain without a durable solution to their plight. More than half of all Palestinian refugees lack basic day-to-day protection, such as physical security, freedom of movement, and access to employment.
Who are the Palestinian refugees? What are the rights of these refugees? What is the solution for their plight? What are Palestinian refugees doing to realize their rights?

Advocacy
Palestinians living as migrants of refugees in the Diaspora face tremendous legal and political difficulties. These regard the assertion of their right of return to the villages and towns from which they were expelled in 1948 and 1967, or to receive consummate compensation for their disenfranchisement, as enshrined in UN General Council Resolution 194.
