Mission statement
Shaml is an independent non-governmental
organization dedicated researching issues related to Palestinian
refugees and the Palestinian
Diaspora. It was established in 1994 by a
group of concerned academics and human rights activists who felt the
need to examine issues pertaining to Palestinian refugees in a
comparative perspective; encompassing relevant
experiences in other parts of the
world. We aim to: (1) Raise public awareness, regionally and globally,
about the conditions of Palestinian refugees and the Palestinian
diaspora, their basic rights and the problems and difficulties
they face; (2) Conduct primary
research on refugee issues in Palestine and elsewhere, including
comparative research in the sociology of migration (3) Help formulate
and develop coherent long-term policy for Palestinian refugees, in the
context of promoting a greater understanding of their needs; and (4)
Strengthen links between Palestinian communities in the diaspora and
their homeland.
