The experience of young Palestinian camp refugees in Amman, sheltered from military violence, is different from that of Palestinian children in the West Bank, Gaza, or inside Israel. But together they share a common history, a sense of imagined community and a strong Palestinian identity shaped by the Israel-Palestine conflict. The young heroes of the Intifada have inevitably influenced their peers from the refugee camps in Jordan. My paper examines anthropologically children's rights taught at the UN schools in urban refugee camps as a space of change in which children perceive themselves in new ways. Rights are not laws; hence their applicability and implementation involve more complex processes. The concepts included in the discourse of children's rights such as identity, self or citizen strongly influence young minds and sentiments. Children's rights discourse allows youngsters not only to be self reflective but also socially engaged. My paper investigates children, a now-recognized category of individuals, not only separately, but also as part of the dynamics of a larger group, their family and community. Data based on fieldwork conducted in 2003-2204 shows that rights confer upon children and adolescents a sense of entitlement for justice and provides them with empowering tools such as confidence and self esteem they use in claiming their rights as refugees, especially the right of return. In that regard, I found the notion of rights also carries deep ambivalence, but children demonstrate they are capable of reinventing children's rights and eschew the hegemony of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child by affirming and including their own cultural values. The goal of this paper is to emphasize the role of children agents of change in the contained space of the refugee camp, and promote their enormous potential in shaping their environment as a model for challenging and supporting social justice. Until that time, children's rights in Palestinian refugee camps contribute to restore a sense of pride and dignity to an uprooted community deprived of land, hence honor, a most fundamental value.
