The sample of the study comprised 12 textbooks, 64 teachers and 266 students. Content analysis and descriptive survey methods were used to analyse the data and three research tools namely, content analysis, two instruments; one each for teachers and the students were also used. The results of the study showed that the Arabic textbooks covered the principles of human rights well, except few of them, the teachers partly explained these principles and that the students averagely internalized the principles too. According to these results, it was recommended that the curriculum planning be reviewed to explicitly support the principles of human rights. Also, the in-service training programs be provided to treat the neglected parts related to the principles of human rights.ardoctoral thesis
