LAW works with local partners to understand and document the gendered impacts of the occupation and the ongoing armed conflict, and to ensure those impacts are reflected in legal and advocacy submissions rather than treated as secondary. In 2025 LAW supported Fahkri and Amina Abu Diab, community leaders from East Jerusalem whose home was destroyed by Israeli police, in their communication to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing.

LAW identifies and collates key legal developments and analysis on Palestine, publishing them openly, and provides high level technical assistance to human rights organisations and humanitarian actors on the ground. This has ranged from targeted input into case files to advice on providing legal assistance where doing so risks cutting across humanitarian principles. LAW’s convening work exists to develop litigation initiatives that can proceed even as international accountability mechanisms stall.

Children in Gaza and the West Bank have borne an extraordinary share of the harm caused since October 2023. LAW provides legal support to children affected by the conflict and works to ensure that the specific ways children experience displacement, detention, injury and bereavement are recorded and recognised by the courts and mechanisms examining the situation.

Aid workers in Gaza and the West Bank have been injured and killed while protecting others, and prosecutions remain almost non existent. LAW provides legal advice and representation to humanitarian personnel and their organisations in this context, and has publicly challenged decisions clearing those responsible for killing aid workers. It also represents detained medical personnel, including a prominent Gaza doctor held and tortured in an Israeli prison.
