Book by Noura Erakat argues that international law has been selectively applied to Palestinians, used against them more often than to protect them, tracing how law has been a tool of dispossession from the British Mandate through the Oslo Accords to the present. Erakat examines landmark legal moments including the 1967 occupation, the siege of Beirut, the First Intifada, and the construction of the separation wall, showing how Palestinian legal claims have been systematically marginalized. A rigorous legal resource for scholars and advocates studying international law and Palestine, recommended for anyone working on how law has been deployed against rather than for Palestinians from the British Mandate through the Oslo Accords.
