He was the first al-Haq field-worker whose LLM study in the UK was facilitated by the organization, encouraged in his plans by Said Zeedani (PDF p.118).

His experience of al-Haq’s governance gave him what he considers invaluable experience in staff participation; on belonging (intima’), it is good “but not when it becomes ‘who’s this director, where are they from, we are the organization, we built it’ and so on” (PDF p.120).

As a member of the Enforcement Team, he agrees that perhaps al-Haq did not appreciate the value of the Project, but the team’s work was important, and that today that is what organizations do (Al-Haq: A Global History of the First Palestinian Human Rights Organization, PDF p.162-163).
