How can international human rights standards - in the civil and
political sphere and in respect of economic, social and cultural
rights - provide clear guidance for political change?
This collection offers the reader an exposition and critical
analysis of the agreements between Israel and the Palestinian
Liberation Organisation from the perspective of international human
rights law. Covered topics include - the relevance and influence of
international law on the peace-making process, -the strengths and
weaknesses of the agreements and the extent to which they lay the
foundation for the realization of Palestinian self-determination
and the development of a democratic and civil society, -the status
and obligations of both the State of Israel and the emerging
Palestinian Authority in respect of the Occupied Territories, and -
the continuing role of international actors and non-governmental
organisations in promoting respect for human rights during a period
of dramatic transition.
The position of Palestinian women and the operation of
international human rights standards as mechanisms for political
change receive particular attention.
Scholars concerned with the Middle East and anyone interested in
the promotion and protection of human rights in post-conflict
situations will appreciate this unique and challenging collection.
