François Dubuisson writes that the ICC decision to investigate war crimes in Palestine has huge symbolic significance and will likely lead the court to consider the crime of apartheid, given recent reports.
The State of Palestine that would be created under Trump’s “Plan” would be largely fictitious, with no control over its borders, its security and its population, with a completely fragmented and shrinking territory. This would violate international law, gives Palestinians no rights, and is reminiscent of the South African “Bantustan” project of the 1970s, Francois Dubuisson, professor of international law, writes.
