Stolen Nation: The Right to Reparation of Palestinian Refugees: SOAS Palestine Studies
Autor Lena El-Malaken Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2024
The book demonstrates how the legal rights of Palestinian refugees, specifically as related to their properties, have been marginalized and excluded from the political discourse of the "peace process". Here, the legal rights of Palestinian refugees are demonstrated, challenges for invoking these rights in international and domestic courts are determined, and forms of restitution and compensation outlined. This study offers a timely contribution to provide a comprehensive legal, as opposed to a political, economic or historical analysis, of the right to reparation of Palestinian refugees for their property losses. Additionally, the book seeks to demonstrate the importance of adopting a legal framework in any future negotiation for a peaceful resolution to this long standing struggles for liberation.

Recenzii
This is a deeply researched and much-needed study of the international legal background surrounding to Palestinian refugee reparations. It makes a wonderful contribution to the growing literature not onlyl on reparations to Palestinian refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War but reparations more broadly by approaching the topic from a law and rights-based perspective. Scholars and diplomats dealing with the Arab-Israeli Conflict and other conflicts as well will benefit from its insights.
Richly researched and lucidly written, this book is a vital contribution to understanding an under-documented issue: the right of the Palestinian refugees to reparations for their individual and collective losses following the war of 1948. Anchored in international law, Lena El-Malak argues, convincingly, that a rights-based approach must be incorporated into a broader liberation movement that would bring peace with justice to the Middle East.
What are the scope, content and avenues for reparation of Palestinian refugee losses under international law from 1948 onward? In this timely new book, Dr. Lena El-Malak provides answers to these pressing and foundational questions, without which a just peace in Palestine will continue to elude us.
Lena El-Malak's book "Stolen Nation," is well-written and documented and is an absolute must read. The discussion on the rights of Palestinians to reparations and return has been swept under the table for too long. Reparations and return are not a slogan to be thrown around and actual mechanisms must be put in place to make them a reality.
