Palestine 101 / Module 7
International Law and Palestine
International law appears here in two ways: as part of the history that constrained Palestinians and as a language used to demand justice. The lesson keeps both realities in view.
Learning objectives
- Explain how international law has shaped Palestinian history.
- Evaluate how Palestinians and their allies use legal tools to demand justice.
Transcript excerpt
Excerpt from the lesson transcript
Now let's apply this to Palestine. International law has played a major role in Palestine's history, but not always in just ways. It helped shape the system that took land from Palestinians, denied them their rights, and made it harder for them to achieve freedom. But it has also created tools Palestinians and their allies use to demand justice.
