Ending Impunity for International Law Violations: Palestinian Bedouin at Risk of Forced Displacement

This book examines the forced displacement of Palestinian Bedouin communities through the lens of international law and transitional justice. It explores how systematic displacement policies operate as a form of settler colonial violence, analyzing the legal mechanisms that both enable and potentially resist these practices. The volume combines theoretical frameworks from critical legal studies with empirical research documenting displacement patterns in areas like the Jordan Valley and Naqab desert.

Key themes include the limitations of international humanitarian law in protecting indigenous communities, the role of courts in legitimizing displacement, and grassroots legal resistance strategies. The book argues that conventional legal remedies often fail to address the underlying structural violence of settler colonialism, calling for new approaches that center Palestinian Bedouin voices and sovereignty claims.

Through case studies, legal analysis, and theoretical interventions, it demonstrates how displacement serves broader territorial expansion goals while examining community-based initiatives to contest these processes. The volume concludes by proposing alternative frameworks for accountability and redress that go beyond traditional international law paradigms.

This interdisciplinary collection brings together scholars, practitioners, and community leaders to examine both the systemic nature of displacement and possibilities for meaningful resistance and repair.
