Review

Authoritative and very well researched, this book is indispensable for anyone with an interest in international law, specifically as it relates to Palestinian refugees....Takkenberg's book is an extremely important addition to the literature on international law and the Palestine conflict. It stands out as an innovative text on a very complex issue that has long stood at the center of much controversy but hitherto has not been the subject of intense legal inquiry.
