Where do rights come from, and why are they important? In the first episode of our podcast, we explore the genesis of child rights in international law, and illustrate how these rights come under attack in the context of Israel's occupation of the occupied Palestinian territory.

Childhood Under Occupation is a monthly podcast about child rights and international law, illustrated through the stories of children living in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the work of Defense for Children International - Palestine. Through interviews with experts, field researchers, children and their communities, the podcast offers a rare, immersive experience of the lives of children living under occupation, including those detained in the Israeli military detention system, and the work of DCI Palestine's lawyers, field researchers and advocacy staff to protect their rights. Featuring Brad Parker, DCI-Palestine’s Senior Adviser on Policy and Advocacy.

This podcast is produced by Defense for Children International - Palestine.
