The 1922 Palestine Order in Council: Britain's Legal Blueprint
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the 1922 Palestine Order in Council, the foundational legal instrument through which Britain administered its League of Nations mandate. They discuss its creation in the wake of the San Remo Resolution and the Balfour Declaration, its establishment of a High Commissioner with sweeping powers, and its definition of Palestinian citizenship—one that included both Arab and Jewish inhabitants but excluded many Palestinian diaspora. The conversation covers the role of Sir Herbert Samuel, the first High Commissioner; the creation of the Palestine Legislative Council that never functioned; and the legal framework that allowed land transfers and Zionist immigration to continue under British protection. Lucas explains how the Order embedded the Balfour Declaration into law, and how it shaped Palestinian resistance and legal appeals to the Privy Council. They touch on the 1923 Transjordan Memorandum, which separated Transjordan from Palestine's jurisdiction, and the 1925 Citizenship Order that determined who was a Palestinian. This episode reveals how colonial legalism laid the groundwork for decades of conflict, and why the Order in Council remains a reference point in debates about self-determination and sovereignty.
