BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights is an independent, community-based non-profit organization which works to defend and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Its vision, missions, programs and relationships are defined by the Palestinian identity and the principles of international law, in particular international human rights law. BADIL seeks to advance the individual and collective rights of the Palestinian people on this basis. BADIL Resource Center was established in January 1998 on recommendations issued by a series of popular refugee conferences in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It is registered with the Palestinian Authority and legally owned by the refugee community represented by a General Assembly composed of activists in Palestinian national institutions and refugee community organizations. Its work is implemented by two specialized units – campaign unit and resource unit -and guided by a Board, and supervised by an Oversight Committee, both of which are elected from the General Assembly. BADIL analyzes and studies issues relating to Palestinian refugees and their rights from international law point of view. In addition, it advocates and defends these rights on various levels, campaigns and activities. BADIL does not provide pro bono legal services.

NRC provides humanitarian assistance to refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees. Their programme activities are concentrated on five core activities, one being Information, Counseling and Legal Assistance. NRC provides legal assistance, usually through individual casework, but it may also entail class action. NRC pursues legal action through all relevant local, national and international legal systems and mechanisms, including customary law, conflict resolution and mediation mechanisms and any other prevalent systems of law – in addition to statutory law and the courts. NRC may provide training in legal issues to target groups and key local actors – to establish a platform of understanding of rights and applicable law, and subsequent legal approaches to key issues. These offices handle refugee and IDP cases.
