Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refugees into Citizens: Palestinians and the End of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, a provocative and timely new book by Syracuse University international law professor Donna E. Arzt, offers an unprecedented blueprint for resolving what is often called the "last taboo" in the Arab-Israeli peace negotiations: a just and permanent solution to the problem of over three million Palestinian refugees. This book represents the first comprehensive effort to place the inclusion and dignity of Palestinian refugees at the core of creating viable and lasting peace in the region. Arzt blends traditional academic scholarship with a practical policy prescription: the end of the Middle East conflict can only be achieved when all Palestinian refugees are offered dual citizenship, compensation for lost property, and/or voluntary absorption options in either a future state of Palestine, other Arab states in the region, the broader international community, or on family reunification grounds, repatriation in Israel. Arzt argues that compensation should be based on a "no fault" assumption, and that all involved parties share equal responsibility for refugee absorption.

Download or read book Tackling the Intractable written by Michael Chiller-Glaus and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding a solution to the issue of Palestinian refugees has remained the main hurdle for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement. This book represents a comprehensive political analysis of the Palestinian refugee issue. It tackles the matter on four dimensions. First, the historical context of the Palestinian exodus in both 1948 and 1967 is reviewed. Second, the question is traced whether there exists a Palestinian right of return according to international law. Third, an examination is presented regarding how and why the issue of refugees has remained a stumbling block during the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Fourth, the main part of the book analyses potential solutions to the refugee question, complementing the existing proposals with models developed by the author. What are their implications for both sides? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each proposal to Israelis and Palestinians, respectively? What is the relevance of each proposal as a mutually acceptable solution? Finally, a set of recommendations and guide-lines for future Israeli-Palestinian negotiations on refugees is presented. Overall, this study constitutes a valuable reference for anyone interested in a solution of the most intractable aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Book Palestinian Refugee Repatriation

Download or read book Palestinian Refugee Repatriation written by Michael Dumper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The repatriation of Palestinians is a highly topical issue, and a critical component of any future peace process for Israel/Palestine. Until now, the mechanics of repatriation have not been dealt with in detail. This book explores the notion that the Palestinian refugee case is exceptional through the comparative study of refugee repatriation, and asks: To what extent can the Palestinian case be said to be unique? Where are the divergences, the overlaps and points of similarity with other refugee situations? What lessons can be drawn from these comparisons? How can these lessons inform refugee organizations, the donor community and policy makers? The expert contributors examine the contextual and methodological field, reviewing the trends in forced migration and refugee studies as well as studying the historical and political background of UNHCR and the negotiations around the Palestinian refugee issue. Taking a comparative approach, the book incorporates case studies of specific refugee situations from around the world, revealing key issues in the formulation of repatriation programmes and highlighting lessons to be learnt.

Book The Palestinian Refugees

Download or read book The Palestinian Refugees written by J. Ginat and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As violence escalates in the Middle East, a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine seems more elusive than ever. Yet one thing remains clear: without constructive dialogue such an agreement cannot occur. This timely volume presents just such a dialogue. It brings together opinions, perspectives, and research focused on one of the region’s most complex and volatile problems: the Palestinian refugee situation. Based on a 1999 conference at the University of Oklahoma International Program Center, Palestinian Refugees combines contributions from Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Americans, and Europeans. In addition to focusing on the Palestinian refugees, the essays present various proposals for solving the Palestinian problem. Organized in two parts, the volume presents both scholarly essays and position papers. The scholarly essays place current issues in historical context and explore the Palestinian belief in the "right of return" and questions of appropriate compensation. The position papers focus on policy and offer a variety of perspectives. Concluding the volume is a special essay on public polls that gauge how Palestinians and Israelis view the circumstances of Palestinian refugees and what they feel about possible solutions.

Book Understanding the Attitude in Israel Towards the Application of the Right of Return for Palestinian Refugees

Download or read book Understanding the Attitude in Israel Towards the Application of the Right of Return for Palestinian Refugees written by Wafaa Abuzayda and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palestinian refugee crisis is considered one of the oldest, largest, and most complicated refugee issues in the world. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced as a result of the 1948 and 1967 wars between Israel and the Arab states. Before fleeing their homes, Palestinians were persecuted and intimidated by the Israeli army in 1947 and 1948, causing people to flee to different neighboring geographical areas such as the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The UNRWA, a UN-associated entity, was established and began operations on May 1, 1950 to support relief efforts benefiting the estimated 750,000 Palestinian refugees that were recognized by the international community in the Middle East. According to the UNRWA, that number has increased today to reach approximately 5 million Palestinian refugees. The vast majority of these refugees are not allowed to return to their pre-1948 hometowns. There was no resettlement or real rehabilitation in the places where they had sought refuge, except for limited resettlement efforts in Jordan. Therefore, the right of return to Palestinian refugees is one of the most important issues to be resolved in permanent peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine. For 70 years, the Palestinian and Israeli sides have been trying to reach a solution to the predicament of Palestinian refugees who were displaced in 1948, and again after the 6 Days War in 1967, with no tangible success.Although the international community has affirmed the right of return for Palestinian refugees in multiple resolutions, continuous denial for any responsibility is the stance of past and current Israeli governments. While Palestinians demand the application of the right of return, the State of Israel denies any acceptance of responsibility due to several ideological, philosophical and security concerns. Thus, the issue of Palestine refugees remains unsolved to date, with no clear path for future solutions. This work is aimed to present the facts and earlier literature, followed by an analysis of the underlying reasons for Israel's denial of the right of return, and ending with practical and feasible solutions for applying the right of return for the Palestinian refugees.

Book International Law and the Israeli Palestinian Conflict

Download or read book International Law and the Israeli Palestinian Conflict written by Susan M. Akram and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been intertwined with, and has had a profound influence on, the principles of modern international law. Placing a rights-based approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the centre of discussions over its peaceful resolution, this book provides detailed consideration of international law and its application to political issues. Through the lens of international law and justice, the book debunks the myth that law is not useful to its resolution, illustrating through both theory and practice how international law points the way to a just and durable solution to the conflict in the Middle East. Contributions from leading scholars in their respective fields give an in-depth analysis of key issues that have been marginalized in most mainstream discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Palestinian refugees Jerusalem security legal and political frameworks the future of Palestine. Written in a style highly accessible to the non-specialist, this book is an important addition to the existing literature on the subject. The findings of this book will not only be of interest to students and scholars of Middle Eastern politics, International Law, International Relations and conflict resolution, but will be an invaluable resource for human rights researchers, NGO employees, and embassy personnel, policy staffers and negotiators.
