How would you rate their current level? Ambassador Lenk: At the very core of the relationship between our countries is a human bridge, one between the Jews of Azerbaijan, my brothers and sisters who are living here as full and patriotic members of Azerbaijani society but are still linked to Israel, and the 50 thousand, or so, Azerbaijanis who now live as full and patriotic 1 members of the State of Israel but still remain very connected to Azerbaijan, the land of their birth. These two groups of people constitute two sides of the human bridge interested in our relationship growing. This human aspect that I don’t think Azerbaijan has with that many countries makes our relationship very special. There are of course many other interests we share, and all of them are very important, but I think none is more important than person-to-person ties that bring Azerbaijan and Israel together.

  • ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS and the ICC What Does the Application of the Crimes of the Rome Statute to the Continued Existence and Expan
    ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS AND THE ICC What does the application of the crimes of the Rome Statute to the continued existence and expansion of Israeli Settlements in the West Bank reveal about the operation of the Rome Statute? Simon McKenzie ORCID ID: orcid.org/0000-0003-0709-3943 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 Melbourne Law School The University of Melbourne 1 ABSTRACT The International Criminal Court, established by the Rome Statute, was created to provide a venue of last resort for the prosecution of the most serious international crimes. However, whether the Statute successfully established a coherent and legally effective system of international criminal justice is open to question. This thesis examines this issue by considering how the crimes of the Rome Statute might apply to the continued existence and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The examination reveals some of the difficulties caused by incorporating the principles and obligations of international humanitarian law generally and the law of military occupation specifically into the crimes of the Rome Statute. This methodological approach allows for parts of the Statute to be ‘stress-tested’ to see how they meet, or fail to meet, the Statute’s broader aim of establishing a coherent and legally effective international criminal justice system where the law is knowable, predictable, and able to be applied. Two crimes have been identified as being particularly relevant to the settlements. First, the war crime of transfer of population in article 8(2)(b)(viii) and second, the war crime of unlawful appropriation of property in article 8(2)(a)(iv).

INTRODUCTION The peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians requires creative concepts for conflict resolution. The "Oslo" process, which began as a series of discussions in Norway among academia, created a full range of legal and social relations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. 1 It used a range of differing methods and creativity to deal with seemingly irreconcilable issues between the parties. 2 The basic concept of the process was to begin with the "easier" issues and then gradually build a trusting * Arthur Lenk is an attorney in the Legal Adviser's Office in Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Head of Mission Mission of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the EU Integration into the European and Euro-Atlantic institutions has been at the top of Azerbaijan’s foreign policy agenda ever since our country re-gained its independence and state sovereignty in early 1990s. Azerbaijan views the European Union as a good model of a successful development in political, economic, social and humanitarian fields. The cooperation with the EU and its institutions is not an end in itself, but rather means to raise the living standards for the citizens of Azerbaijan, develop the economy, improve public administration and judiciary, and, in the words of President Ilham Aliyev, “to modernize all spheres of life in our country”. 1 The legal foundation of relations between Azerbaijan and the European Union was laid by the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) signed on April 22, 1996. The agreement which entered into force on July 1, 1999, provides an appropriate framework for the political dialogue between the parties allowing the development of political relations, supports Azerbaijan's efforts to consolidate its democracy, to develop its economy and complete the transition into a market economy and promotes trade and investment, as well as harmonious economic, social, financial, scientific, technological and cultural cooperation.
