montelatici, et al,
Yeah, I keep hearing some say that. But it is not an argument you can pursue.
Article 22 of the League of Nations (LON) Covenant (indeed the entire Covenant) is an pledge or obligation between the parties to the Covenant. It was not a universal law or and applicable to those outside the Covenant or third-parties. You can think of it as a Contract between the Parties to the Covenant; which the Arabs of Palestine were not a member. In 1919 the Arabs of Palestine were the people under which the Enemy Occupied Territory Administration were responsible.
As it applies specifically to the territory under the Mandate for Palestine, Article 22 is a obligation for the British (Mandatory) makes a promise to all the other members to the Coven to take or not take some action (the LON Covenant is a complex requiring affirmative, restrictive and prohibitive actions). In this case, the enforcement of the individual obligations are a matter for the other parties in the Coven to determine and decide if the obligations were satisfactorily met. It is not for the third parties (like the Regional Arabs) to decide, interpret or enforce.
You are totally off base when you try to imply that the LON Covenant is enforceable by members not a party to the Covenant. In fact, the LON Covenant does not even have to exist. The Allied Powers would still have the Title and Rights renounced by the Ottoman Empire/Turkish Republic. In fact, the Mandates would just become Agreements between States.
Absent an objection filed by a party to the Covenant on this issue, it is assumed that the other parties to the Covenant granted a benign form of approval that is not expressed clearly, in words. It is silent approval. Any disputes must be processed in accordance with Article 12 and 13 of the Covenant.
(QUESTION)
Do the Arab Palestinians know of any record holding that a member of the Coven files a dispute pertaining to you charge and claims?
I would like to read the proceedings.
Most Respectfully,

Wrong, the Allied Powers were required, pursuant to the Covenant of the League of Nations, to insure the well-being and development of the inhabitants, who at the time of writing were 95% non-Jewish.
