The mission of the Office for Israeli constitutional Law (Justice Now!) is to educate the World, and if necessary to compel the World body to stand by International Law and Treaties regarding the legal borders of the Jewish National Home.
Our web site is currently under construction, but for more information please contact OFICL at justiceNow@justiceNow4israel.com
OFICL hopes that the U.S. Administration will review our documentation, the relevant case law, and promptly withdraw the "Road Map and any related facilitation, as required by international law. However, we have gathered the evidence necessary to file a case in the United States against the US government's continued violations of the Treaties that recognize Israel's rights to its internationally recognized legal borders, the prohibition against ceding any land belonging to the Jewish National Home, and supporting the right of Jewish settlement within those internationally recognized borders.
The legal borders in question comprise all Israel, including all of Judea, Samaria, the Gaza Strip, the entire city of Jerusalem, and more….
These borders were recognized by the United States in a 1924 treaty with Great Britain. The Jewish National rights recognized by the British and the Americans under the 1924 Anglo-American treaty are still guaranteed by the treaty. Furthermore, the US Constitution calls a treaty the "Supreme Law of the Land" and the courts have the power to force the Federal Executive Branch (President, Secretary of State, etc.) to honor its Treaties. The courts have exercised this power in the past, and OFICLmay well seek a court ruling to compel the US government to recognize Israel's sovereignty through all of the borders expressed within the Balfour, San Remo, and Mandate documents.
The Office for Israeli Constitutional Law, an Israeli amuta (non-profit organization), is preparing to file its case in the US District Court. We welcome your contributions to help make our case possible.
