Digital Rights in Palestine: Prospects of a Constitutional Judicial Review
Örebro University, School of Behavioural, Social and Legal Sciences.ORCID iD: 0000-0001-5743-8052
2024 (English)In: Yearbook of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law Online, ISSN 1384-2935, p. 1-36Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

A set of rights and freedoms are protected by constitutions and interpreted by the competent judiciary. The increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICT s) creates new legal challenges to rights and their judicial interpretation. This article aims at analysing the prospects of the Palestinian Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) concerning digital rights, while considering political and legal challenges. In doing so, it begins with a brief introduction to the concepts of digital right and digital constitutionalism. The article further describes the status of digital rights in Palestine and evaluates the role of the SCC in the adjudication of the constitutionality of the laws in relation to human rights protection on the internet. It finally offers proposals for understanding the necessity for constitutional protection of digital rights in Palestine through judicial review. It argues that the Palestine needs constitutional modernisation to address the legal implications of technologies on human rights.
