The power and apparent failings of international law in Palestine are questions on everyone's minds right now. In this episode of This is Not a Watermelon, professor Victor Kattan walks us through the scope and remit of international law, the legalities of occupation and invasion, and the state of international law today. Tracking back through the 20th century, Victor reflects on whether the makers of the Balfour Declaration and Mandates for Palestine would call their "great experiment" a success. He touches on the "Jewish question" in Europe, apartheid as a form of genocide, and the likelihood of a functioning Palestinian State. Finally, he looks at South Africa's case against Israel and to the question of whether justice in Palestine is ever possible (and if so, in what form and for whom?)
