    International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion Proceedings On Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Palestine Written Statement (30 January 2004) And Oral Pleading (23 February 2004) Preface 1. In October of 2003, increasing concern about the construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949 (the Green Line) and deep into Palestinian territory, brought the issue to the forefront of attention and debate at the United Nations. The Wall, as it has been built by the occupying Power, has been rapidly expanding as a regime composed of a complex physical structure as well as practical, administrative and other measures, involving, inter alia, the confiscation of land, the destruction of property and countless other violations of international law and the human rights of the civilian population. Israel’s continued and aggressive construction of the Wall prompted Palestine, the Arab Group, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to convey letters to the President of the United Nations Security Council in October of 2003, requesting an urgent meeting of the Council to consider the grave violations and breaches of international law being committed by Israel. 2. The Security Council convened to deliberate the matter on 14 October 2003. A draft resolution was presented to the Council, which would have simply reaffirmed, inter alia, the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and would have decided that the “construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a wall in the Occupied Territories departing from the armistice line of 1949 is illegal under relevant provisions of international law and must be ceased and reversed”.

    Assessing the Impact of Potential Climate Change on Rainfed Agriculture in Jenin District

    Birzeit University Faculty of Graduate Studies Institute of Environmental and Water Studies Assessing the Impact of Potential Climate Change on Rainfed Agriculture in Jenin District M.Sc. Thesis By Baha' Mohammad Hamarsheh Supervisor: Dr. Maher Abu-Madi Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Masters Degree in Water and Environmental Engineering at Birzeit University, Palestine. Birzeit University 2010 Dedication To my dear parents, brothers, sisters and friends Abstract Many studies and researches have been conducted all over the world in order to analyze and study the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector specially the rainfed agriculture. Moreover, the potential impacts of climate change have not been quantified at local level yet. Based on this fact, this study aims to evaluate and study the potential impact of climate change on rainfed agriculture in Jenin district. Jenin has been chosen because it is considered one of the largest agricultural areas in West Bank and it has large agricultural activities. The district contributes with about 16.2% of the agricultural production in the Palestinian market. The analysis has been conducted using computer programming (CropWat) to estimate the change in yield reduction with increasing temperature (1, 2 and 3° Celsius) and decreasing precipitation (10, 20 and 30 %). The results show that with increasing temperature by 1 °C for wheat (as example) yield reduction changes by (35.7%), and for T+2 °C and T+3 °C the changes rate were (36.6 %) and (37.3 %) respectively taking into consideration no changes in the precipitation. But if all the climate parameter has changed it will be more significant; (41.7 %) the changes will be, if combined the increase in temperature (+3 °C) and reduction in precipitation (-30%).

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of

    Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of

    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.
