Refugee Convention at 75: Britain owes Palestine an answer

The 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention highlights Britain's historical role in creating the Palestinian refugee crisis through policies like the Balfour Declaration. A 400-page legal petition argues the UK owes an apology for its actions in Palestine between 1917 and 1948, which led to the displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians during the 1948 Nakba. Palestinian refugees remain excluded from the Refugee Convention's protections under Article 1D.
