Long abstractIsrael’s rule over the Palestinian people may be characterized as a regime of apartheid, with its individual actions constituting crimes of apartheid. I was one of the legal advisers to the Russell Tribunal On Palestine (RTOP or ‘Russell Tribunal’) which convened on six occasions, not all of which I was able to assist with (from March 2010 to September 2014) (http://www.russelltribunalonpalestine.com/en/index.html). The third session was held in Cape Town in November 2011 and what I will set out in this chapter is an updated summary of the RTOP’s findings – available in full but not updated via this link http://www.russelltribunalonpalestine.com/en/sessions/south-africa/south-africa-session-%E2%80%94-full-findings The Tribunal made findings with regard to Israel’s policies and practices vis-à-vis the Palestinian people with reference to the international legal prohibition of apartheid under the following headings: The definition and status of apartheid under international law; Application of the definition of apartheid to Israeli policies; and practices vis-à-vis the Palestinian people.

Daniel Machover, who gave the ninth Hurndall Memorial Lecture in 2014, is a solicitor and partner at the London criminal justice and human rights law firm, Hickman and Rose. His expertise is in vindicating the rights of people who have suffered at the hands of the state, in inquest and public inquiry work and in representing individuals and organisations in complex civil litigation cases. Daniel’s work for victims of crimes at the hand of state agents has led to the prosecutions of police officers and prison officers, while his work for victims of state crimes abroad (war crimes, torture and crimes against humanity) has placed him at the forefront of the movement for universal criminal jurisdiction.
