Nablus - The Palestine Scholars League yesterday issued a Fatwa (edict) on
the question of Palestinian refugees affirming that the right of return was
a historical, religious and human right guaranteed by heavenly norms and
international doctrines.

The PSL explained that the right of return was inalienable and could not be
cancelled regardless of the lapse of time.

The League said that any agreement or treaty not fulfilling the complete and
unconditional right of return for the Palestinian refugees to their
homeland, homes and property was null and void. It affirmed that such
agreements were not binding to the Palestinian people.

The PSL refused all tabled options to settle the question of the refugees as
an alternate solution to the right of return whether they may be in the form
of compensation, relocation, partial or individual return and postponement.

The League said that anyone accepting compensation as a replacement to the
right of return was selling and surrendering his homeland.

The PSL said that resistance was the sole means of solving the Palestine
cause rather than peace negotiations, which were described by the Fatwa as
"futile".
