Oh come on now. Be specific.
Be specific! What defined territory is under "alien domination?"

Oh come on now. Be specific.
(COMMENT)I don't see where the right to return would be relevant. The only thing in the way is the alien domination. Without that, the right to return would not be an issue.P F Tinmore, et al,
OK, two issues.
(QUESTIONS)1. The subjection of peoples to alien subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, is contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and is an impediment to the promotion of world peace and co-operation.et al,
What is the legal basis for the Palestinian "Right of Return?"
(COMMENT)No surrounding Arab country will grant their Palestinians a right of return. They know the Palestinians very well. How relieved they are to have Israel to have to deal with them.
I looked at the PLO-Negotiation Affairs Department site, and all I can find, that the really agree upon, is:
I also notice that under the Convention relating to the status of Stateless Persons, there may not be as many Palestinian Refugees as the UNRWA says.
- Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations (1945), requires that “[a]ll Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”
- UN Security Council Resolution 242 (1967) emphasizes “the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war” and calls for the “[w]ithdrawal of
Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict.”- The International Court of Justice, in its July 9, 2004 Advisory Opinion, concluded that Israel in breach of international law as an occupying power by building its Wall and settlements inside the oPt.
In the last couple weeks, the pro-Palestinian side has made it plain that they consider Palestinians of the 1988 State of Palestine a cohesive and permanent population. If so, there are very few "refugees" to start with in the discussion.

2. All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
3. Inadequacy of political, economic, social or educational preparedness should never serve as a pretext for delaying independence.
4. All armed action or repressive measures of all kinds directed against dependent peoples shall cease in order to enable them to exercise peacefully and freely their right to complete independence, and the integrity of their national territory shall be respected.
5. Immediate steps shall be taken, in Trust and Non-Self-Governing Territories or all other territories which have not yet attained independence, to transfer all powers to the peoples of those territories, without any conditions or reservations, in accordance with their freely expressed will and desire, without any distinction as to race, creed or colour, in order to enable them to enjoy complete independence and freedom.
6. Any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and the territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
The United Nations and Decolonization - Declaration
(COMMENT)
- Is General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, binding?
- Where is the "Right of Return" stipulated by International Law?
While the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (1967 Protocol) is treaty like and binding, it does not give refugees a right to return.

Be specific! What defined territory is under "alien domination?"
- Is is the territory occupied since 1967?
- Is it the entirety of the territory to which the former Mandate applied?
- Who is the alien?
