  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

  • Review of Recommended Peaceful Projects and Contracts for Israeli-Palestine Conflict in Terms of International Rights
    Journal of Politics and Law; Vol. 9, No. 6; 2016 ISSN 1913-9047 E-ISSN 1913-9055 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Review of Recommended Peaceful Projects and Contracts for Israeli-Palestine Conflict in Terms of International Rights Abdolsamad Doulah1 & Mirshahbiz Shafee1 1 Law Faculty, martyr Beheshti University, Iran Correspondence: Abdolsamad Doulah, Law Faculty, martyr Beheshti University, Iran. Received: October 22, 2015 Accepted: June 17, 2016 Online Published: July 31, 2016 doi:10.5539/jpl.v9n6p151 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jpl.v9n6p151 Abstract Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most complex and longest conflict in history. The problem which officially recognized with UN resolution 1947 and creation of two countries ,was the initial point of consistent and continuous conflict. This is the beginning of wars, creation of movement, contracts and peace projects. Mentioning these contracts and plans and investigating the importance of its provisions could answer to the lack of permanent peace as well as the most important cases of parties. Some of these projects include the Camp David proposal, Fahd, Fez, Reagan, Mubarak, Madrid, Oslo, Maryland, Sharm el-Sheikh. Each one ,according to political and its historical position is accepted, rejected, or partially accepted by the parties that led to the creation of the conditions and obligations for the parties of the conflict. Despite all the peace plans and agreements, parties did not agree on a comprehensive plan for the establishment of lasting peace in the region the. In fact, it seems as long as there is no determination beyond the interests of the Palestinian-Israeli groups and parties there, getting to the ultimate goal which is the sustainable peace, is elusive and this destructive cycle of war and peace will continue.
