Asim Qureshi @asimqureshi.bsky.social · 05/05/2025In this regard, we had Professor John Dugard, the former ad hoc judge to the ICJ, and Professor Avi Shlaim, an expert on Israeli history, write explicitly on the debunking the notion that 'Israel' has a right to exist. 100
Asim Qureshi @asimqureshi.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Professor Dugard's report begins by stating explicitly: "The right of a State to exist is not a concept recognized by international law." This sets the tone for his argument, that ultimately international law requires a degree of recognition from others. hamascase.com/volume-ii/14_d…hamascase.com 100
Asim Qureshi @asimqureshi.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Dugard provides the example of Rhodesia, which unilaterally declared itself a state in 1965, but who was denied that claim by the UK and the UN. Similarly, Tibet has declared its right to exist, only to be denied by China - and the list goes on with Catalonia and Kurdistan. 100
