World Heritage Site: Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls
Publication Year: 2017
Publication Type: Book chapter
Publication Identifier: WHE88729995FE
Summary
A proposed legal framework for the Old City of Jerusalem suggests a special regime with its own police force, composed equally of Israeli, Palestinian, and international members, to maintain public order. This specialized unit would oversee holy sites, ensuring representation from diverse religious communities, such as Christians, Muslims, Palestinians, Israelis, and internationals. The framework also addresses public services like health, education, and utilities, while examining legal aspects such as applicable laws, courts, and executive offices. Additionally, it proposes a Palestinian curriculum delivered through schools managed by Christian churches, the Islamic Waqf, and the Jerusalem municipality.
