These essays come from a conference organized to draw attention to legal problems arising from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Contributors include internationally-renowned experts on international and human rights law as well as a number of Palestinian lawyers actively engaged in promoting the interests of indigenous Palestinians. This book makes an important contribution to the legal literature on the situation in the Occupied Territories, covering such issues as the administration of occupied territory in international law, the right to form trade unions under military rule, taxation and financial administration, land and water resources, and defense and enforcement of human rights in occupied territories.
