Against the backdrop of changes in the power structure of the international system at the end of the twentieth century, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) entered into a peace process with Israel in 1993. Initially characterized by the influence of a multilateral order and then by the unipolar order dominated by the United States, in addition to the asymmetry of power between the two parties, the process ended up failing. The heir to that political legacy, the Palestinian Authority (PA), has tried to compensate for this weakness—despite its dependency relationships—with an internationalization strategy the continued advance of which appears to be severely limited. Added to this is the setback brought about by the political and diplomatic offensive of the Trump administration (2017–2021), one of unilateral support for Israel and absolute Palestinian exclusion. However, the increasing reconfiguration of the world order, the arrival of the new Biden administration, and the receptiveness of the International Criminal Court to investigate war crimes in Palestine seem to indicate a new political juncture. In this situation, the PA could also try to counterbalance the power asymmetry by seeking greater involvement from countries such as Russia, which has returned to the region as a great power, and China, whose presence there is growing. In turn, the PA will have to deal with different issues (unity, elections, a renewal of leadership) and try to boost its political legitimacy and international alliances to three ends: the prominence and reactivation of the PA, the recognition of Palestine as a state with in situ<em> </em>results, and international protection from Israeli policies.
Este artículo hace una revisión de las definiciones de refugiado a través de los acuerdos y tratados internacionales, desde la Convención sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados de 1951 hasta hoy, y su aplicación al contexto de los refugiados y desplazados del conflicto palestino. A partir de allí, se revisa el tratamiento que el mismo tema ha tenido en el marco de las resoluciones emanadas de la ONU y su tratamiento por parte de la UNRWA desde 1948 hasta la actualidad.AbstractThis article makes a review of refugee definitions through international agreements and treaties, since the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951 until today, and its application to the context of the displaced and refugees of the Palestinian conflict.

En el presente artículo trataremos el nacimiento de la Cuestión palestina y por extensión el del problema de los refugiados palestinos bajo el prisma de los llamados “nuevos historiadores” israelíes. Éstos han sido los actores determinantes que han echado abajo los mitos creados por Israel -y mantenidos también por los países occidentales- que había en torno a los sucesos que ocurrieron, durante y después de la guerra de 1948, y en especial, lo relacionado con la expulsión de los habitantes nativos palestinos que se convirtieron en refugiados.AbstractIn the present article we will deal with the origins of the Palestine Question and with the problem of the Palestinian refugees as it has been discussed by the Israeli so-called “new historians”. The “new historians” have been determinant actors in demolishing the myths created by Israel -and held also by Western countries- about the events surrounding the creation of the State of Israel and the 1948 war, and especially what has to do with the expulsion of the Palestinian inhabitants and how they were made on refugees.
