Summary
This chapter accounts for treaties like the 1954 Hague Convention and the World Heritage Convention, as well as bilateral treaties (between Israel and Jordan, and Israel and the Holy See) to consider international legal protections for holy places in the Old City. Additionally, human rights norms, including freedom of religion, cultural heritage protection, and property rights also are accounted for.
