Abstract

 

 

This study highlights the importance of International Humanitarian

Law to the Palestinian cause, as the legal framework that governs relations

between the occupying power and the people under occupation. It analyzes

the various Palestinian positions on the applicability of International

Humanitarian Law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and indicates its

importance in the Palestinian political discourse. It also analyze the different

Israeli positions on the applicability of that law in the Occupied Palestinian

Territories, especially in light of changes that took place on the ground after

the Oslo Agreement in 1993, and the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip

in 2005. The study also tackles the legal status of the Occupied Territories

in the aftermath of the acceptance of Palestine as a non-member state at

United Nations, and how the Palestinians can take advantage of international

humanitarian law for the benefit of the Palestinian cause.
