Description
The United Nations and the Question of Palestine explores the complex relationship between international law, institutional frameworks, and the Palestinian question within the United Nations system. Ardi Imseis provides a critical legal analysis of how UN structures have historically addressed and managed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The book examines the concept of ‘legal subalternity’—how certain actors and claims within international law are systematically subordinated or marginalized. Imseis argues that the Palestinian question has been shaped by structural inequalities embedded in international legal institutions and UN procedures.
Through detailed examination of UN resolutions, legal doctrines, and institutional practices, the work reveals how ‘rule by law’ operates differently for different parties in international disputes. This groundbreaking study offers essential insights for understanding the legal dimensions of the Palestinian struggle, the limits of international law, and broader questions about justice and equality in the international legal order.
