Palestinian Bedouin at risk of forced displacement: Creative communication

在巴勒斯坦被占领土脆弱的环境中，耶路撒冷周边的贝都因人是最贫穷、最脆弱和最不安全的社区，但他们却面临着日常的房屋被拆毁、对其经济生存至关重要的农业和畜牧业物品被没收、体面生活条件所必需的太阳能电池板和水管被摧毁等问题。以色列当局或以色列定居者的这些行为不受惩罚，加剧了巴勒斯坦贝都因人的生存环境，因为他们的土地和生活方式受到侵犯，使他们的日常生活岌岌可危，未来的发展前景黯淡。在巴勒斯坦社会更广泛的经验中，贝都因人处于以色列在西岸的土地掠夺政策的边缘，这些政策试图将巴勒斯坦人从他们的土地上驱逐出去，以扩大非法的以色列定居点，尽管联合国安全理事会第2334（2016）号决议和许多其他联合国文件对此进行了谴责。近几个月来，包括贝都因人在内的巴勒斯坦人在一个公正的国际法庭面前伸张正义的前景已经实现。2021年，国际刑事法院确认了其对自1967年以来被以色列占领的巴勒斯坦领土的领土管辖权，其中包括东耶路撒冷和西岸中部地区，巴勒斯坦贝都因人是该项目的重点居住地。自2021年3月3日国际刑事法院正式启动巴勒斯坦局势诉讼程序以来，该法院正在审议自2014年以来导致贝都因人人道主义脆弱性和流离失所的非法定居活动和其他违反国际法的行为。因此，这是一个关键时刻，以确保学术界、政策界和一般受众了解由于以色列在巴勒斯坦的定居点活动一再违反国际法而不受惩罚，巴勒斯坦贝都因人遭受的国际罪行。这一自由论坛提案中提出的目标和活动旨在通过一套创造性的数字内容输出，向全世界的在线受众通报巴勒斯坦贝都因人的状况。该提案调动了创造力和文化资产--特别是巴勒斯坦的创意媒体部门，以及巴勒斯坦贝都因人作为内容自愿共同制作者的潜在创造力--以揭露影响巴勒斯坦贝都因人的侵犯人权和国际人道主义法行为。它通过向全世界数字受众提供的各种创造性媒体“讲述"巴勒斯坦贝都因人的困境，解决了严重侵犯人权行为缺乏国际问责的严重代价。反过来，这项工作在巴勒斯坦和国际上加强了可持续发展目标16（和平，冲突，正义，强大的机构），在那里，薄弱的全球正义机构继续辜负一些最脆弱，往往被遗忘的巴勒斯坦社区，加剧了他们的人道主义脆弱性以及该地区和平，正义和发展的机会。为响应联合国创意经济促进可持续发展国际年，这一拟议的后续项目建立在目前AHRC-FCDO项目的基础上，该项目涉及一系列可持续发展目标（主要是可持续发展目标16和10），并通过数字手段制作针对全球普通受众的创意媒体内容来增强该项目。拟议的后续项目巩固了北方爱尔兰、英格兰和爱尔兰三个学术伙伴之间的国际伙伴关系（QUB，TCD，LJMU）和巴勒斯坦的学术合作伙伴和民间社会组织（圣城大学/人权诊所-社区行动中心），并包括一个新型伙伴，一家巴勒斯坦创意媒体制作公司，（拼贴制作），谁将提供该项目的创意内容方面。

In the fragile context of occupied Palestine, the Bedouins in the Jerusalem periphery are among the poorest, most vulnerable and insecure communities who nonetheless face routine home demolitions, confiscation of agricultural and pastoral items crucial for their economic survival, and destruction of solar panels and water pipes essential for decent living conditions. These actions, attributable to Israeli authorities or Israeli settlers who act with impunity, contribute to the coercive environment in which Palestinian Bedouins survive as their land and way of life are encroached upon, making day-to-day life precarious and future development prospects bleak. Within the broader experience of Palestinian society, the Bedouins are at the sharp edge of the Israeli land-grab policies in the West Bank that seek to remove Palestinians from their land in order to expand illegal Israeli-only settlements, despite the condemnation in UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) and numerous other UN documents. In recent months, the prospects for justice for Palestinians, including Bedouins, before an impartial international tribunal have materialised. In 2021 the International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed its territorial jurisdiction in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967, which includes the areas of East Jerusalem and central West Bank where the Palestinian Bedouins who are the focus of this project reside. Since the formal opening of ICC proceedings in the Situation in Palestine on 3 March 2021, the unlawful settlement activities and other international law violations since 2014 that drive Bedouin humanitarian vulnerabilities and displacement are under consideration by that Court. As such, this is a crucial moment to ensure that academic, policy and general audiences are informed of the international crimes inflicted on Palestinian Bedouins as a result of impunity for repeated violations of international law associated with the Israeli settlement enterprise in Palestine. The aims and activities set out in this FoF proposal seek to inform worldwide online audiences of the situation of the Palestinian Bedouin through a suite of creative digital content output. This proposal mobilises creativity and cultural assets - in particular the creative media sector in Palestine, and the potential creativity of Palestinian Bedouins as voluntary co-producers of content - to shine a light on human rights and international humanitarian law violations affecting Palestinian Bedouins. It addresses the serious cost of the lack of international accountability for serious human rights violations by 'telling the story' of the plight of the Palestinian Bedouin through different creative media accessible to worldwide digital audiences. In turn, this work enhances SDG 16 (peace, conflict, justice, strong institutions) in Palestine as well as internationally, where weak institutions of global justice continue to fail some of the most vulnerable, and often forgotten, Palestinian communities, exacerbating their humanitarian vulnerabilities and chances for peace, justice, and development in the region. In response to the UN International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development, this proposed follow-on project builds on a current AHRC-FCDO project that engages a range of SGDs (and primarily SDGs 16 and 10) and enhances it through the production of creative media content targeting general audiences worldwide through digital means. The proposed follow-on project consolidates an international partnership between three academic partners in Northern Ireland, England and Ireland (QUB, TCD, LJMU) and an academic partner and a civil society organisation in Palestine (Al Quds University / Human Rights Clinic - Community Action Center), and includes a new type of partner, a Palestinian creative media production company (Collage Productions), who will deliver the creative content aspects of the project.
