The 1922 Palestine Order in Council Legal Architecture of Occupation
Om avsnittet
This episode unpacks the 1922 Palestine Order in Council, the British legal document that codified the Mandate's structure, created a dual legal system for Jews and Arabs, and entrenched the institutional framework that would shape Palestine for decades. Lucas and Luna explore how Article 22 recognized Hebrew as an official language alongside English and Arabic, how the Order established a High Commissioner with near-autocratic powers, and how it legally separated the Yishuv from the rest of the population. They discuss the role of Sir Herbert Samuel in drafting the Order, the creation of the Palestine Legislative Council (which Arabs boycotted), and the lasting impact of these legal categories on land, immigration, and citizenship. The episode also touches on the Order's treatment of religious communities via the Recognition of Religious Communities Ordinance, and how the dual legal system foreshadowed later divisions. Key figures include Herbert Samuel, Wyndham Deedes, and the Legal Secretary Norman Bentwich. Terms covered: Order in Council, Mandate, High Commissioner, Yishuv, fellahin, millet system, Recognition of Religious Communities Ordinance.
