	Netherlands - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland; IPA pronunciation: /"ne:dərlant/) is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that is formed by the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.(Dutch: Koninkrijk der Nederlanden).
		The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated and geographically low-lying countries in the world (its name literally means "low country") and is famous for its dikes, windmills, wooden shoes, tulips, bicycles and social tolerance.
		Political scientists consider The Netherlands a classic example of a consociational state, at least in part caused by the necessity in the Netherlands since the middle ages for different cities to cooperate in order to fight the water (different cities were at the time like different countries by today's standards, and often at war).

		A city is an urban area that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet (place)hamlet by size, population density, importance, or de jurelegal status.
		Although city can refer to an agglomeration including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not appropriate for a conurbation (cluster) of distinct urban places, nor for a wider metropolitan area including more than one city, each acting as a focus for parts of the area.
		For instance the City of South Perth is part of the urban area known as Perth, Western AustraliaPerth, commonly described as a city.

		However, as cities accumulated privileges, and the power of cities grew, several cities managed to acquire a reasonable amount of autonomy over the years (especially after the privilege to construct and defend city walls was granted).
		With the end of the middle ages, the number of city rights granted dramatically dropped with a short lived romantic revival in the early 19th century, when several important settlements (predominantly the Hague) wanted the right to call themselves city, rather than town.

	HUMAN RIGHTS AND TERRORISM - Netherlands Helsinki Committee - 2003
		Malinowski (Human Rights Watch) argues that a successful strategy to prevent further terrorist attacks should be twofold: good police- and intelligence work, and a political transformation in countries where lack of democracy makes dissent turn into violent extremism.
		Both approaches should rely on strict adherence to human rights: police work tends to get sloppy when the appropriate rules aren’t followed, whereas stimulating political transformation abroad is contingent upon repairing the severely damaged moral authority of the United States as champion of the rule of law and democracy, says Mr.
		But it is extraordinarily dangerous to declare, as the Bush administration has done, that the whole world is a battlefield in the war on terror, and that the laws of war apply to every element of the struggle against terrorism.
