Details
- Machover argues that Israel’s rule over the Palestinian people may be characterised as a regime of Apartheid, with its individual actions constituting crimes of apartheid, on the three-element legal definition drawn from the Apartheid Convention, ICERD and the Rome Statute (PDF p.165-168).
- Applying the Tribunal’s findings, he concludes that Israel subjects the Palestinian people to an institutionalised regime of domination amounting to apartheid as defined under international law, manifesting in varying intensity by location but amounting collectively to a single integrated regime (PDF p.178).
