1 Resolution 194 establishes that Palestinian refugees have a right “to return to their homes … and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.” Takkenberg analyzes the contents of this paragraph in depth (pp. 242–46) and adds to it the collective human right of self-determination of the Palestinian people—a right that has been repeatedly confirmed by the UN General Assembly since 1969.
