  • The Israel Apartheid Analogy
    The Israel Apartheid Analogy Contests over Meaning in a War over Words Student: Isabel de Kanter Student Number: 5697271 University: Utrecht University Faculty: Humanities Department: Philosophy and Religious Studies Bachelor: Islam and Arabic Thesis Advisor: Dr. Eric Ottenheijm Second Reader: Dr. Joas Wagemakers PLAGIARISM DECLARATION I confirm that I have read and understood the plagiarism guidelines as described in the Education and Examination Regulations of Utrecht University. I hereby declare that this thesis is my own work, that it has not been copied from any published or unpublished work and that it has not previously been submitted for assessment either at Utrecht University or elsewhere. Each contribution and quotation in this thesis from the work of other people has been appropriately cited and referenced, using the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition. ABSTRACT In the wake of the Six Day War in 1967, Israel became an occupying power with the conquest of the Golan Heights, Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip and West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Since the 1970s, comparisons have increasingly been drawn by authorities in the UN, human rights organisations, political commentators and protest movements, between the South African system of apartheid and Israeli policies in the occupied territories. This thesis explores the historical development of the Israel apartheid analogy and its use in public discourse. Not only by analysing secondary literature, but also by conducting a case study, in which articles are examined from high circulation Israeli and Palestinian centrist newspapers the Jerusalem Post and Al-Quds, in the period between January 1st 2017 and May 15th 2018.

  • 9. Palestine‒Israel Doaa’ Elnakhala
    9. Palestine‒Israel Doaa’ Elnakhala BACKGROUND Palestine is an area of about 26 000 km², located to the southeast of the Mediterranean, and is comprised of modern-day Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. This area contains sacred sites for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Since the late 19th century, it has been subjected to conflicting claims by Jewish and Arab national movements. Jewish claims are based on the biblical promise to Abraham and his descendants that Palestine was the site of the Jewish kingdom of Israel, destroyed by the Romans. Palestinian claims are based on continuous residence for hundreds of years, and on constituting the majority of the population at various times in the conflict, including the end of the British Mandate and the creation of the State of Israel, in 1948. Some also add that, since Abraham’s son Ishmael is the forefather of the Arabs, then God’s promise to the children of Abraham also includes the Arabs (Beinin and Hajjar, 2014, p. 1). Waves of Jewish immigration arrived in Palestine during the Ottoman Rule and the British Mandate.1 In 1917, the British promised a Jewish homeland in Palestine through the Balfour Declaration (Balfour, 1917), which contradicted their promise to the Arabs of Palestine, of their own independent state on the same land (Antonius, 2010).2 Concerned over a demographic threat and a gradual loss of land to the Jewish migrants, the Palestinian Arabs rioted against the British Authorities, accusing them of conspiring with the Jews. With support from different sources, the influence of the Jewish population expanded as tensions continued to escalate (Pappé, 2006; Elnakhala, 2014).

  • Secretariats and Executive Secretaries of the UN Regional Commissions: an Exploration
    Secretariats and Executive Secretaries of the UN Regional Commissions: An Exploration Paper for the ACUNS Annual Meeting in New York, 16-18 June 2016 Panel: Executive Heads, Secretariats, NGOs, and Civil Society: Evolution and Change in the UN System Bob Reinalda Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands, [email protected] IO BIO Editor, www.ru.nl/fm/iobio Please do not quote this uncorrected draft Meeting the challenges of development and dignity is the topic of this ACUNS Annual Meeting. This paper focuses on the so-called Regional Commissions of the United Nations (UN), which – generally speaking – have not received much attention. They are not particularly recognizable as institutions, but do function as bridges between the universal organization (the UN) and its major ‘regions’ (mostly continents), given the objectives of discussing economic and social issues in specific regions and of strengthening regional cooperation as well as cooperation with the rest of the world. These Regional Commissions are ECA for Africa, ECE for Europe, ECLAC for Central and Latin America, ESCAP for Asia and the Pacific and ESCWA for Western Asia. They have a small joint Office in New York. The paper furthermore focuses on a specific organ of these Regional Commissions, namely their Secretariats. We know relatively little about the Secretariats of international organizations (IOs), mainly due to the fact that the general focus of research is on the entire organization and its actions, rather than on this and other specific organs. The Secretariat however is an entity that follows the mandate of the organization and the decisions of the assembly of member states, but it also is the place where IO actorness originates.
