Thus, for example, Israel is responsible for the mass killings of Palestinians at Deir Yassin village in April 1948. A state is responsible for unlawful acts occurring prior to its establishment as a state, committed by military organizations that brought the state into being. Under international practice, when individuals are harmed by a foreign state, their state of nationality may present a claim on their behalf. Here Palestine can make a claim on behalf of Palestinian victims of massacres, in its capacity as the state of nationality. This is so regardless of whether Palestine was in existence as a state at the time at which the acts occurred.
Any compensation paid to Palestine is considered to be paid to it on behalf of the victims.
Thus, the victims, is still alive, or their descendants if they are not, should receive whatever compensation is paid by Israel. One method of accomplishing compensation would be to establish a commission to which Palestinians harmed in a massacre, or the descendants of a Palestinian harmed in a massacre, could present a claim. As for the Palestine state, it could demand satisfaction in the form of an expression of regret and the punishment by Israel of persons responsible.
