" This Introduction Paper is the first of a five-paper series on Decolonization: The Case of Palestine. While this paper will establish the intended framework for decolonization, the subsequent papers in the series will constitute an in-depth exploration of the required actions, processes and means for achieving complete decolonization in Mandatory Palestine. The series aims to provide a comprehensive rights-based decolonization approach that addresses the fundamental and inalienable political, economic, social, and cultural rights of the Palestinian people in a decolonized Palestine.
