SEEKING INFORMATION ON OBLIGATIONS OCCUPYING POWERS HAVE TO PRIMARY EDUCATION IN THE AREAS THEY OCCUPY Dear Colleagues I'm am writing a dissertation on the obligations occupying powers have to primary education in the areas they occupy. I have not found any significant literature that directly concentrates on this issue and a friend advised that I send an email to this list. I was wondering if anyone might know of any sources that could be of assistance. I'm worried that somewhere in some library there is a book that I haven't found that deals directly with my topic. The categories of scholarship I'm relying on thus far include the following (and I've have given a quick summary of what I found the literature to contain or not to contain): the right to education (CRC, CESCR, commentaries on these treaties, and ESC rights generally. Not much mention is made of education in conflicts, never mind occupation - aside from some comments on the situation in Israel.); education in emergency situations (e.g., work by UNICEF, UNESCO, Boyden and Rydey's study, and INEE - these works tend to take on a pragmatic approach, outlining on-the-ground measures that need to be taken to curb the various problems that can arise when war enters into a society. They are, however, largely absent of considerations of occupation and at most recall that human rights are applicable in times of armed conflict without giving more detail); and human rights and the law of occupation (this is almost completely absent of considerations to ESCR and education. Israel High Court decisions and the most recent ICJ advisory opinion is of some help). Thank you for any assistance you might be able to provide.

Apple (John Bascom Professor of Curriculum & Instruction and Educational Policy Studies). I would be pleased if you send me any files or researches about him in order to grasp his ideas. I suffer from a lack of references about him. So I ask you to help me. Thank you very much in advance.
