In the Palestinian context, the application of the principle of uti possidetis juris would support the transfer of the borders of Mandatory Palestine, as the latest recognized colonial administrative borders, to the newly independent state of Palestine, at the expiration of the British Mandate in 1948, which serves as the latest recognized legal title. It is also consistent with the ultimate purpose of the League of Nations’ mandate system: to eventually achieve the independence and self-determination of peoples under the trusteeship system. Through decolonization and dismantling the Israeli colonial-apartheid regime within the borders of Mandatory Palestine, all Palestinians are enabled to be included in the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. 14
