The piece discusses the legal nature of the West Bank since 1948.

Furthermore, it discusses the nature and development of the right to selfdetermination, ultimately arguing that the West Bank is currently terra nullius under Israeli occupation and that (leaving aside wishful thinking of different streams in international relations) under pure principles of customary international law there is no such think as Palestine, at least not in the territory of the West Bank.
