Noura Erakat , Darryl Li and John Reynolds published an article titled “Race, Palestine, and International Law” in the American Journal of International Law, vol.117.

The article highlights how the League of Nations resolution to establish a settler colony in Palestine for the Jewish people in 1922 denied the right to national self-determination of the Indigenous Arab population. The article elaborates on two pivotal moments in Palestinian history and international law that demonstrate the importance of understanding race and colonialism as conjoined concepts.

First, it looks at ongoing debates over the regime and the crime of apartheid. And, second, it assesses the now-repudiated UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 that recognized Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination. Both examples, according to the article, demonstrate the importance of understanding race and colonialism as conjoined concepts that must be understood together.
