← Back to Dashboard
📅 20 August 1922 📍 Palestine

Organizations/movement: Palestinian National Congress; Arab Executive Committee. Action: Delegates met in Nablus through 1 September and opposed participation in the proposed constitutional arrangement. An executive statement urged an electoral boycott. Result: A non-cooperation program provided a basis for the following year’s boycott. Impact / interpretation: The congress framed refusal as resistance to legitimizing a colonial framework. It also posed a strategic dilemma: blocking a limited institution did not automatically produce a sovereign alternative.
