Is the International Community Accomplice in Exacerbating the Palestinian Crisis?

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines whether the international community, through inaction or selective engagement, has become complicit in perpetuating the Palestinian crisis. It traces the historical evolution of Palestine’s international status from the Balfour Declaration and British Mandate to the United Nations’ post-1945 framework. It highlights how geopolitical power asymmetries undermine the enforcement of international law. It further discusses the increasing “judicialisation” of the Palestinian issue, including recent proceedings and critiques the double standards of major powers in applying humanitarian norms. Finally, it contrasts the competing reconstruction and peace agendas proposed by the United States and Arab States, revealing a new structural paradox in global governance.
