Description
Book SynopsisA damning analysis of Israel's evasion of international law
Trade Review'This compelling study, by reputable legal scholars, answers the international community's need for new analytical tools to understand a conflict that defies conventional legal categories' -- George Bisharat, Professor of Law, University of California Hastings College of the Law
'An excellent and very full study that examines in great detail the legal concepts of colonialism and apartheid, and considers their implications in the context of the Occupied Palestinian Territories' -- Christine Chinkin, Professor of International Law, London School of Economics and Political Science
'Like many fellow South Africans, while visiting the occupied Palestinian territories I've been shocked to see Israel following or even exceeding the oppressive practices of the apartheid regime that we fought for decades. This study confirmed my worst impressions, and I believe its findings should receive urgent attention' -- Ronnie Kasrils, former Minister of Intelligence Services, Republic of South Africa
'This study examines the increasingly frequent assertion that Israel is practising apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territory within the normative framework of contemporary international law. Its conclusion, based on a careful analysis of law and practices in apartheid South Africa and in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, reveals a new and troubling dimension of a conflict that has long confronted the international community' -- John Dugard, Professor of Law at Leiden University and former Special Rapporteur for the UN Human Rights Committee on the situation in occupied Palestinian territory
