The UN and Israel's Occupation of the Palestinian Territories - Ardi Imseis


Dr. Ardi Imseis is an Assistant Professor of International Law at Queen’s University, as well as a legal practitioner, having spent 12 years working for the United Nations in the occupied Palestinian territories. Imseis argues that the UN has not been the standard-bearer of the international rule of law but, since 1947, has enforced “rule by law” in the way it has created and then “abused and selectively applied” international law with regards to the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. He discusses UN General Assembly Resolution 77/247, which calls on the ICJ to issue an advisory opinion on the legal status of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories.

  1. Dr. Ardi Imseis and Talia Baroncelli offer one of the most informative of the many articles, books, presentations, etc on the Israeli occupation of Palestine —full of history, empty of rhetoric, with a carefully presented distinction between the rule of law and the rule for law, a subject further explored in the book by Dr. Imseis. The law of self determination that is held out as a beacon of hope for the Palestinians is ignored and violated by the UN officials accountable to that law.
