Tal Mimran, ‘Towards an Enhanced Protection of Palestinian LGBTQ Refugees in Israel?’ EJIL: Talk! blog, 18 April 2024
Abstract
This blog aims to unpack a recent ruling from the Israeli district court concerning the eligibility of an LGBTQ Palestinian to seek refuge under the Refugee Convention. This issue is of tremendous importance, as LGBTQ Palestinians are a vulnerable group within the Palestinian community, in terms of social acceptance and also, at times, their personal security and dignity.
