The Scheveningen Dockets: An International Tribunal Dossier

Book 5 - The Scheveningen DocketsThey set the archive on fire to make sure the record could never be entered. They forgot there were three originals.When a thermite charge tears through the evidence vault beneath the Peace Palace, Layla Mansour and Rami Haddad escape into the North Sea fog with the one document Gideon Levy's legal defense cannot survive: the 1920 San Remo correspondence proving the Mandate was built on ink, not law.Chased by Bradley's contractors across four decades of buried statutes - the 1936 strike, the 1948 expulsions, the water orders of 1967 - Layla, Dr. Tariq Al-Husseini, David Vance, and FBI Special Agent Reynolds race to put a century of colonial paperwork on the docket at Trial Chamber I before the last witnesses, and the last archive, are silenced for good.The Scheveningen Dockets closes the legal-forensic sequence begun in The Occupation Papers, tracing the paper trail from the 1920 San Remo Conference through the British Mandate, the UN's own vetoed resolutions, and the U.S. statutes routinely waived to arm around them - into a single case file no tribunal can look away from.The Occupation Papers ends where it always had to: not with a verdict handed down, but with a record no one can burn.Includes an Author's Note and a Glossary of Statutes, Treaties & Imperial Ordinances.
