Abstract

Abstract Human rights are indivisible and are considered as the basis of enjoyment of civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. It also ensures safe environment to exercise these rights through sustaining civil peace under the rule of law. Therefore, the researcher utilised the historical and analytical descriptive approaches. The findings confirm: first, that civil peace is a fundamental pillar of sustainable development of societies. Second, civil peace in Palestine is at its worst and at risk. In addition to this, the consequences of the collapse of civil peace in Palestinian society will have serious repercussions on the Palestinian cause. The researcher then reached a number of recommendations to restore civil peace in Palestinian society, some of which are: First, to renounce the culture of violence that sowed hatred and revenge among younger generations. Next, to invite the Supreme Council of the Judiciary to develop judges' skills and legal expertise. Then, to call on judges to expedite the disposition of cases before them to ensure fairness of the justice system. Finally, to call on the Palestinian legislature to codify the relationship between tribal customary law and the rule of law.
