	Geneva Conference (1954) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Geneva Conference (April 26 - July 21, 1954) was a conference between many countries that agreed to end hostilities and restore peace in French Indochina and Korea.
		During the First Indochina War, the French had sought to re-establish colonial rule in Indochina, but despite American aid, they were defeated in 1954 by forces under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh, notably in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu.
		An International Control Commission was set up to oversee the implementation of the Geneva Accords, but it was basically powerless to ensure compliance.

		This article examines critically the changes proposed by the Geneva Accords, cites the drawbacks inherent in the document and in what it doesn't contain, comments on possible significance of the initiative with reference to the negotiating process, and calls on the government of Israel to adopt a meaningful public stance regarding the document's contents.
		The importance of the Geneva document, apart from the enormous response it evoked and the hope it proffered to part of the Israeli public, lies in the fact that it points to one option in the range of potential agreements between Israelis and Palestinians regarding the resolution of the conflict.
		According to the Geneva document, the parties to the agreement are the State of Israel and the PLO, representing the Palestinian people.

	In Defence of Marxism - The meaning of the Geneva Accords - The Israeli capitalists want to find salvation
		According to Sharon, the US-sponsored “Road Map” is the only plan Israel has accepted, and the Geneva initiative only gives the Palestinians the impression that they do not have to keep to their “road map” pledges to fight terror.
		The Geneva Accords were initiated by Dr Yossi Beilin (former minister of justice and Labor MP in his past) and Yasser Abed Rabbo (former Palestinian minister associated with Yasser Arafat's wing in the Palestinian Fatah party).
		The PB of the party is of the opinion that the “Geneva accords are a real contribution in the fight against the criminal government of Sharon.

	US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation : Critique of the Geneva Accords
		The Accord is apparently based on earlier discussions begun during the Taba talks of January 2000 that followed the failed Camp David summit; Taba broke down without an agreement when Bill Clinton was replaced by George Bush and when Labor's Ehud Barak by Likud's Ariel Sharon.
		Geneva also refers, albeit obliquely, to a commitment to work towards an end to all weapons of mass destruction, conventional and unconventional, throughout the Middle East, the first time Israel's nuclear arsenal was ever even hinted at in peace negotiations.
		The Geneva Accord recognizes both "Palestine and Israel as the homelands of their respective peoples." But Israel is recognized in accordance with "the right of the Jewish people to statehood," rather than referring to the right of "Israelis" to a state.

		The Geneva Accords, signed on 14 April 1988, were the culmination of a diplomatic process set in motion soon after the December 1979 Soviet military intervention and continuing through nearly seven years of United Nations mediation.
		Pakistan and the United States were constrained to sign the Geneva Accords with a formal affirmation of their position of nonrecognition of one of the cosignatories of the Accords, namely the Kabul government.
		Despite their blemishes, the Geneva Accords and the negotiating process on Afghanistan constitute an important chapter in contemporary multilateral diplomacy and are significant in a number of ways.

		Light began by suggesting a definition of the Geneva Accords as something that was less of an agreement, and more of an “exercise in dialogue.” He described the Geneva negotiations as a “practice run” for a time when the final status issues will be discussed by official government delegations.
		Dajani added that such an outline as the Geneva Accord must be adopted soon to derail the proposed Sharon peace plan that calls for a Palestinian state on 45 to 50 percent of the West Bank hemmed in by Israel’s wall and expanding settlements.
		He described criticisms of the Accords based on its rejection of the Right of Return as unrealistic and urged “pragmatism.” It is “impossible,” he said, “to bring back the past.” Implementation of the Right of Return would mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state.

		The Geneva Accords grants responsibility for border control, intelligence gathering, prevention of terrorist attacks, and rescue and emergency missions to the Palestinian Security Force, to be overseen by a multinational force.
		According to eyewitnesses at the Camp David summit in July, 2000 (and repeated in Palestinian publications), Palestinian leader Arafat insisted that whatever Jewish temple “might have existed” was not located in Jerusalem, but in Nablus.

		Washington and the U.S. media have largely ignored the Geneva Accords, despite the fact that the agreement would seem to be very much in line with the sort of settlement the U.S. claims to have been pressing for over the past 15 years.
		Despite the questionable prospects for Palestinian acceptance of the agreement regarding the refugees, and the lack of a reconciliation process, the Geneva Accords are promising, in that (for all their flaws) they move closer to a just solution than any previous agreements.
		The point is not necessarily to endorse the accords, but rather to acknowledge that there are partners for peace on both sides, and that they are prepared to discuss substantial concessions on many of the thorniest issues - such as borders, Jerusalem, and settlements - that provide a basis for real progress.

		The Arab League is considering approving the symbolic Geneva Accord between Israel and Palestine in 2003.
		The Israeli and Palestinian authors of the Geneva Accord have received insults and even death threats from factions of both populations, even as 58 international luminaries publicly praised their efforts.

	ZNet \|Israel/Palestine \| Assessing the Geneva Accords, Part II
		The accord is full of such assertions of respect and mutual self-determination, followed immediately by provisions that undermine them, and cast doubt on the intentions and sincerity of its authors.
		One of the longest sections of the Geneva Accord is Article 7, detailing provisions for resolving what it calls âthe refugee problem.â The article begins by affirming UN resolution 194 as "the basis for resolving the refugee issue," and proclaims that this resolution will be "fulfilled" by implementation of the agreement.
		Nor does the Geneva Accord acknowledge Israelâs responsibility for the Palestinian refugee crisis, let alone the Palestinian Nakbah (or âcatastropheâ) which was unleashed in 1947-48, and which resulted in the complete destruction of hundreds of Palestinian villages and a series of brutal massacres.

		The Geneva Accord apparently intends to say that Palestinian refugees will be compensated and will be resettled in Palestine or other countries, with only a few coming to live in Israel.
		The Israeli government slammed the accords because they conceded much more than the government is willing to concede, and because they attempted to leapfrog the roadmap process, which was not supposed to discuss final status until a much later phase.
		Following the release of the Geneva Accord in December, Yossi Beilin's Shahar movement was merged with the Meretz party to form a new party called Yahad.

	PALESTINE: Why Palestinians reject the Geneva Accords
		The substance of the Geneva Accords is largely based on a plan put forward by US President Bill Clinton in 2000, as well as the so-called Taba negotiations of the same year.
		Moreover, the accords also state that, once their provisions have been fulfilled, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be settled in “…all its aspects.” Such a phrase means that any future struggle would be considered illegitimate under international law.
		The reaction to the accords on Palestinian streets also indicates the inherent flaws of a process that continues the basic logic of previous negotiations — flaws which were instrumental in initiating and maintaining the Palestinian uprising that recently entered its fourth year.

		Brokered between leading Palestinian and Israeli opposition figures, the Geneva Accords are intended to break the stalemate on peace since Mr Sharon came to power.

		With the crowd chanting "the Geneva Agreement is a betrayal", speakers attacked the calls for greater security co-ordination between Palestinians and Israel to curb militant groups, which is also a requirement of the road-map proposal to achieve peace in the Middle East.

		The primary cause for such predicted demise according to Davis is represented by the failure to address the core issues of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, namely, the “ethnic cleansing of the territories that came under the control of the Israeli army”.
		It is no coincidence that the choice of Switzerland as the venue for signing the accords, is the same country which was the birthplace of the first international Zionist conference over a hundred years ago that launched the idea of establishing a homeland for Jews on the land of Palestine.
