Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine is a book by Noura Erakat, a human rights attorney and assistant professor at Rutgers University. Published in 2019 by Stanford University Press, the work explores the relationship between international law and the politics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Summary

"Justice for Some" offers a critical examination of the ways in which international law has been applied and interpreted in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Erakat argues that international law is not an objective arbiter but rather a tool that can be used strategically to advance the interests of various actors. Throughout the book, she presents the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories as a legal issue, assessing the role of international law in both perpetuating and addressing the conflict.

Background

Before publishing the book, Noura Erakat served as legal counsel for domestic and international affairs at the Popular Committee to Support the Palestinian Uprising. She brought her experience as a human rights attorney and her scholarly expertise in international law to the analysis presented in the book.
