The centre specializes in the research and analysis of issues concerning the Palestinians who were forced out of the State of Israel after the implementation of the Oslo Accords and advocates “their internationally recognized legal right to return.”[2]
On December 5, 2010 the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak issued a statement that outlawed the centre for “unlawful association”, claiming that the PRC was part of Hamas.[3]
Aims
The Palestinian Return Centre frames the problematic situation of the Palestinian Refugees in relation to the “Nakba” or “catastrophe”[2], as it describes the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the resulting displacement of Palestinians. The issue of the Palestinian refugees’ return to Palestine is in fact at the center of the PRC’s activities “both as a humanitarian and political concern.”[2]
According to its website, the PRC aims to preserve the Palestinian identity and explicitly encourages resistance to any attempt to resettle the Palestinians in their places of refuge.[2] In fact, the PRC coordinates with other organizations that support the realization of Palestinian national aspirations.[4]
The organization intends to “increase and widen awareness of the suffering of the Palestinians in the Diaspora” and to inform the general public in Europe and Britain in particular about the “truth on the many different dimensions of the Palestinian issue.”[2]
Moreover, the organization endeavors to “establish the status of Palestinian refugees under international law without any equivocation, and campaign for their basic human and legal rights.”[2]
