Among other things, in this interview John Dugard talks about the typification of apartheid and its links with colonialism, the legality of Palestinian resistance movements, the performance of the different special rapporteurs appointed by the UN HRC and compares the South African and Israeli cases, as well as his interpretation of Israeli apartheid (restricted to the OPT) with that contained in the bibliography and other reports, concerning the territory as a whole. Still, he comments on his expectations regarding the process brought against the State of Israel by the State of Palestine in the International Criminal Court, which, in 2021, acknowledged having jurisdiction over the case.
