H.R. 4391 Webinar June 2018

NWTTAC June 2018 Webinar on HR 4391

On November 14, 2017, lawmakers introduced the first-ever bill on Palestinian human rights in Congress, something the #nowaytotreatachild team has been working toward over the past several months.

Join #nowaytotreatachild campaign co-leaders, Brad Parker and Jennifer Bing, for a webinar on June 12 at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET for updates on the bill and the situation on the ground for Palestinian child detainees. We'll also share information on a recently released action and an upcoming June congressional briefing.

The bill, H.R. 4391, is titled the Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children Act and was introduced by Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) with nine co-sponsors.

It prohibits U.S. tax dollars from supporting human rights violations against Palestinian children during the course of Israeli military detention. 

H.R. 4391 requires the Secretary of State to certify annually that no funds obligated or expended in the previous year by the United States for assistance to Israel have been used to support the ill-treatment of Palestinian children detained by Israeli forces from the occupied West Bank.
