If true change begins with understanding, then the second edition of Palestinian Refugees in International Law is an indispensable starting place.

This excellent book takes our understanding of Palestinian refugee rights under international law - with their historical, factual, and legal underpinnings - to a new horizon. It is at present the most thorough and most comprehensive treatise on this subject, and it will be unwise to address the Palestinian refugee issue without consulting it. It will no doubt stand as the bible on the Palestinian refugee question under international law for many years to come. * Anis Kassim, International Lawyer, Chief Editor of The Palestine Yearbook of International Law * Promotional In this edition, Lex Takkenberg and Francesca Albanese discuss the status quo both on the ground and in the courts, and pose future scenarios to come.
