5. Conclusion and Recommendations The above has elaborated on the relationship between colonization, apartheid, and forcible transfer – the three pillars that are integral to the Israeli regime’s survival. In recognizing that Israel is a colonialapartheid regime, the response needs to be rights-based decolonization. This is because colonialism and apartheid simply cannot end with the withdrawal of a colonial power, relining borders of territories, redistribution of the authorities, or the shifting of territory so long as this colonial power continues to deny the people it has colonized their right to self-determination. As such, a three-tiered rights-based decolonization framework was developed above to guide the upcoming working papers in the series, and it refers to: (1) dismantling the Israeli colonial-apartheid regime in all of Mandatory Palestine inclusive of the structures that enable and reinforce its functioning; (2) remedying and reversing the impacts of Israel’s colonial-apartheid laws, policies, and practices specifically through fulfilling the Palestinian people’s rights to self-determination and return; (3) and developing a new rights-based political structure in Mandatory Palestine that guarantees human rights for all and integrates mechanisms for reconciliation, stability, development and justice. In view of the above, BADIL calls on third state parties to: ● Recognize the colonization and apartheid frameworks as appropriate legal structures for analyzing the nature of the Israeli regime in Mandatory Palestine and take practical measures for the dismantlement of this regime and its structures that are the origin of the fragmentation of Mandatory Palestine, the denial of the Palestinian right to self-determination, and the deprivation of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons from their right of return; in essence, advocate for the decolonization of Palestine; 26
