P F Tinmore, et al,
The Treaty of Lausanne doesn't actually say anything different than what was already enacted. You act like some other higher group wrote the Treaty. The very same people who were instrumental in the drafting of the Treaty of Sevres were the same as those that wrote the Treaty of Lausanne. Absolutely nothing in the Treaty of Lausanne changed any aspect of the Palestine Order in Council or caused the change in the Citizenship Order of 1925.
FIRST: In fact, the passage in the 1924 Treaty uses spme of the exact same language in the 1922 Order in Council, which came before. Why, because the very same interests wrote both. The Treaty of Lausanne is not the Genesis of Citizenship in Palestine. It is relative to Armenians and Kurds, but not the Palestinians.
SECOND: The The Palestinian National Charter: Resolutions of the Palestine National Council July 1-17, 1968, were not law of any sort and even if it were, it was written two decades too late (although it did make me smile). The Palestinian National Charter was written by the legislative body of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that elects the Executive Committee (PLO EC).
The Palestinian National Charter Language you cite is what the UNRWA CERI (Consolidate Enrollment Registration Instructions) are derivative of. The PLO, working for the UN in the RWA influenced CERI. That is why it does not match existing IHL.
Remember these are the same people that wrote, in the same document that:

(COMMENT)Drawing up the framework of nationality, Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne stated:
“Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty is detached from Turkey will become ipso facto, in the conditions laid down by the local law, nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred.”
The automatic, ipso facto, change from Ottoman to Palestinian nationality was dealt with in Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Citizenship Order, which declared:
“Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine upon the 1st day of August, 1925, shall become Palestinian citizens.”
Genesis of Citizenship in Palestine and Israel
Article 5:
The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father - whether inside Palestine or outside it - is also a Palestinian.
Article 6:
The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.

You're welcome.
FIRST: In fact, the passage in the 1924 Treaty uses spme of the exact same language in the 1922 Order in Council, which came before. Why, because the very same interests wrote both. The Treaty of Lausanne is not the Genesis of Citizenship in Palestine. It is relative to Armenians and Kurds, but not the Palestinians.
For the purposes of this Order and pending the introduction of an Order in Council regulating Palestinian citizenship, the following persons shall be deemed to be Palestinian citizens:--
(a)Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine at the date of commencement of this Order.
(b)All persons of other than Turkish nationality habitually resident in the territory of Palestine at the said date, who shall within two calendar months of the said date make application for Palestinian citizenship in such form and before such officer as may be prescribed by the High Commissioner.
SECOND: The The Palestinian National Charter: Resolutions of the Palestine National Council July 1-17, 1968, were not law of any sort and even if it were, it was written two decades too late (although it did make me smile). The Palestinian National Charter was written by the legislative body of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that elects the Executive Committee (PLO EC).
The Palestinian National Charter Language you cite is what the UNRWA CERI (Consolidate Enrollment Registration Instructions) are derivative of. The PLO, working for the UN in the RWA influenced CERI. That is why it does not match existing IHL.
Remember these are the same people that wrote, in the same document that:
- Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.
- Commando (Feday'ee) action constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation war. This requires its escalation, comprehensiveness, and the mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed Palestinian revolution.
- The partition of Palestine in 1947, and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time,
- The Balfour Declaration, the Palestine Mandate, and everything that has been based on them, are deemed null and void.
- The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine and reject all proposals aimed at the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, or at its internationalization.
