Book excerpt: Since the earliest days of the Palestinian Authority, a varied group of Palestinians has sought to lay the practical foundation for Palestinian statehood through the construction of strong institutions with clearand generally liberallegal bases.

This book was released on 2016-01-03 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palestinian Legal System is often characterised as complex, since it consists of different layers of colonial codes and rules: Ottoman, British, Jordanian, and Egyptian laws, Israeli military orders and Palestinian legislation. Complicating matters further, there are at least two segments of legal and judicial life that coexist in Palestine:1 Codified laws and regulations, which include the religious laws (i.e. Sharia), and an informal system of conflict resolution based on customs (urf). The term 'informal justice' refers to a social phenomenon widespread throughout the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, comprising the settlement of disputes between citizens outside the framework of the regular or formal (nizami) courts. It is a phenomenon which exists in a number of Arab countries. The book presents a deep socio-legal investigation and places legal and tribal practices in the general social context. It also strives to understand the social logic and general principles that govern informal justice and to explain the reasons for continued use of the system. It therefore does not start off from a position that simply emphasises the need for an official unified legal system that guarantees the rule of law, however imperative this is; rather, it is based on the principle that positions and recommendations must be based on a detailed understanding of the way informal justice works in real life, through the actions and positions of real social actors (ordinary people, formal and informal actors). The book provides a chronology of public institutions produced by the various regimes which have exerted their sovereignty on Palestine. The chronology allows the non specialist reader to understand the evolution of the system through those periods until the establishment of the Palestinian Authority and effect of the Israeli occupation on the system. The researchers involved in the study used field research to disclose the extent of the relationship and interaction between informal justice and the various social sectors and their institutions. This was included in-depth interviews with actors connected to informal justice; it also included collecting relevant documents from the different areas in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. The book points to ingenious distinctions and contradictions between collective and individual approaches of law and rights when dealing at the same time with informal and official justice and by introducing a dose of political philosophy in the socio-legal approach, the researchers of the study draw the readers' attention on sensitive issues dealt with in Palestine today and challenge traditional perceptions on the nature of the rule of law and building state institutions in a conflict situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of thirteen essays explains and analyzes the conflict between the Government of Israel and the Palestine Authority over the granting of sovereignty to Palestinians from the point of view of international law. The dispute--emotional, so far intractable, often violent--is of global, not merely Middle Eastern concern. The essays cover two general topics: the political nature of the conflict and the economic issues. The collection includes eight respected contributions previously published and five newly written essays. The contributors represent a range of political alignments and differing perspectives, providing the widest possible scope for understanding the issues and beliefs relating to the conflict. Includes an up-to-date bibliography; fully indexed.

Download or read book Conflicts in a Conflict written by Michael Karayanni and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts in a Conflict outlines and analyzes the legal doctrines instructing the Israeli courts in private and civil disputes involving the Occupied Palestinian Territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, since 1967 until the present day. In doing so, author, Michael Karayanni sheds light on a whole sphere of legal designs and norms that have not received any thorough scholarly attention, as most of the writings thus far have been on issues pertaining to international law, human rights, history, and politics. For the most part, Israeli courts turned to conflict of laws, or private international law to address private disputes implicating the Palestinian Territories. After making a thorough investigation into the jurisdictional designs of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, both before and after the Oslo Peace Accords, Conflicts in a Conflict comes to focus on traditional topics such as adjudicative jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognitions and enforcement of judgments. Related issues such as the foreign sovereign immunity claim of the Palestinian Authority before Israeli courts as well as the extent to which Palestinian plaintiffs were granted access to justice rights, are also outlined and analyzed. This book's compelling thesis is the existence of a close relationship between conflict of laws doctrines as they developed over the years and Israeli policies generally in respect of the Palestinian Territories. This study of the conflict of laws in a war setting and conflict of laws in a jurisdictionally ambiguous location, will greatly serve scholars and practitioners in similarly troubled and complex legal situations elsewhere.

This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is easily accessible to those interested in Law and Development, Middle Eastern Studies, human rights in-conflict and post-conflict situations, legal pluralism, gender studies and the dynamics of political Islamic movements in Palestine and the Arab World. In light of scarce literature written in the English language that provides an overview of the situation in Gaza, the intention of this publication is to reflect on the internal Palestinian political split, especially after Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in the year 2007. The publication covers several focused themes, highlighting the current context, impact of the political situation on public rights and freedoms, the work of the legislative, judicial, and executive authorities, the difficulties human rights and women organizations face under the Hamas rule and includes a critical review of legislation, laws and regulations enacted in both, the West Bank and Gaza. In a set of in-depth research papers and articles, the authors analyze how law is used as a tool for conflict and hegemony in Palestine and describe how Hamas is gradually reconstructing the institutional and legal structure of power from an ideological and religious perspective. The book also provides insights into the causes and origins of structural violence, in addition to exploring several scenarios that can be envisaged for solving the dual institutional structures that were created after the political division between the West Bank and Gaza.
