The International Law Foundations of Palestinian Nationality: A Legal Examination of Nationality in Palestine under Britain’s Rule: Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, cartea 7

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 sep 2008
By the end of British rule in Palestine on 14 May 1948, Palestinian nationality had become well established in accordance with both domestic law and international law. Accordingly, the legal origin of Palestinian nationality lies in this nearly thirty-year period as the status of Palestinians has never been settled since. Hence, any legal consideration on the future status of individuals who once held Palestinian nationality should start from the point at which the British rule over Palestine was terminated.
This work provides a legal basis for future settlement of the status of Palestinians of all categories that emerged in some sixty years following the end of the Palestine Mandate: Israeli citizens, inhabitants of the occupied territory, and Palestinian refugees. In conclusion, nationality as regulated by Britain in Palestine represents an international status that cannot be legally altered except in accordance with international law.

Recenzii

“Indeed, uncertainty regarding the precise status of Palestinians today affects their protection and rights, both in the Middle East and in the many countries throughout the world in which Palestinians have settled or sought refuge…. The organization of the thesis and its overall presentation are clear… in fact, it is a pleasure to read…. Mr. Qafisheh is to be highly commanded for the thoroughness and depth of his research, and for bringing into the light of day a chapter of law and practice which has been too little considered.”
Guy S. Goodwin-Gill, All Souls College, Oxford


“This book is extremely well researched, and well written. It deals with an important topic that is not covered in any published book…. With the prospect of a Palestine state emerging, the issue of Palestinian nationality becomes quite current…. As the author rightly points out, a Palestine state cannot determine to whom its nationality should extend without considering who was a national of Palestine in the mandate era. This book can serve as a handbook for drafters of a future Palestine nationality law.”
John Quigley, Ohio State University


“The thesis does project into the future, laying down certain lines of enquiry and future research into questions of nationality in post-mandate Palestine and… is not only of historical value…. I congratulate Mr. Qafisheh for his thesis which I consider to be a valuable contribution to the literature and very well argued and researched. The original documentation relied on and the case-law cited enriches the argumentation. Mr. Qafisheh has thus succeeded in shedding light on many undocumented aspects of this Palestinian era.”
Vera Gowlland, Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva
