	Dependent area
		Dependent territories are commonly distinguished from subnational entities of the same country since they in most cases represent a different orders of separation.
		A subnational entity typically represents a division of the country proper, while a dependent territory might be an overseas territory that enjoys a greater degree of autonomy.
		The areas separately referred to as non-independent are territories that are disputed, occupied, having a government in exile or with a non-negligable independence movement.

	The Palestinian Territories are Disputed
		Nothing is said about the status of the territory in international law, about possible legal claims to it or about the legality of the foreign power’s presence.
		The argument that Israel is not an occupying power because some of its forces withdrew from occupied territory (Area A) during the ‘Oslo Peace Process’ in the 1990s (which it has since reoccupied) is also untenable.
		This is because the test for the application of the laws of occupation are not whether the occupying power fails to exercise effective control over the territory, but whether it has the ability to exercise such power.

	DISPUTED TERRITORIES: Forgotten Facts About the West Bank and Gaza Strip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Occupied territories are territories captured in war from an established and recognized sovereign.
		The use of the phrase "from territories" was deliberately chosen by the members of the Security Council after extensive study and months of consultations, this despite considerable pressure from the Arab States to include the word "all".
		The disputed status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, combined with the refusal of the Palestinians to sign peace agreements with Israel that would define the final borders, means that the precise status of the territories has yet to be determined.

	Palestine Monitor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Rather than presenting the conflict as one between an “occupier” and an “occupied,” the conflict is presented as one between two equal parties with equal rights to “disputed”[iii] land that Israel “captured”[iv] in 1967.
		In the case of the Palestinian Territories, however, the term “occupied” is insufficient to describe Israel’s policies of land confiscations, home demolitions, colony construction and the array of Israeli human rights violations such as torture and collective punishment imposed on the Palestinian civilian population.
		Most historians, including Israeli historians, dispute Israel’s claim that its 1967 attack on Egypt, Jordan and Syria was “defensive.”[xxix] However, the point is moot for purposes of deciding whether Israel occupies the Palestinian Territories: no concept of territorial conquest, whether defensive or offensive, exists under international law.

	Occupied to Disputed Territories
		In fact, prior to 1967, Jordan had occupied the West Bank and Egypt had occupied the Gaza Strip; their presence in those territories was the result of their illegal invasion in 1948, in defiance of the UN Security Council.
		Thus, the current territorial dispute is allegedly the result of an Israeli decision "to occupy," rather than a result of a war imposed on Israel by a coalition of Arab states in 1967.
		Describing the territories as "Palestinian" may serve the political agenda of one side in the dispute, but it prejudges the outcome of future territorial negotiations that were envisioned under UN Security Council Resolution 242.

		The status of this land is anything but unclear and is defined by international law as occupied territory, regardless of the views of Israel or CNN.

		Since the closure in 1995 of the main IDF detention camps in the occupied territories, all security detainees (i.e., those detained and held without charge by security forces) from the occupied territories who are held for more than a few days are transferred to facilities within Israel.
		Thus far, improvements in prison conditions have been limited in scope, and dilapidation and overcrowding (the latter aggravated by the closure of IDF detention facilities in the occupied territories in 1995) are still problems.
		All Palestinians from the occupied territories are employed on a daily basis and, unless they are employed on shiftwork, are not authorized to spend the night in Israel.

		And as a growing list of totally innocent civilians killed during these attacks demonstrates, the word targeted - particularly the nine children killed in the air strike in Gaza to kill the Hamas man - targeted is itself highly deceiving.
		But for the New York Times to present the Armenian Holocaust as a subject of serious dispute is as insulting to Armenians as it is for Jews to hear the facts of their Holocaust denied.

	UN Report: QUESTION OF THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE OCCUPIED ARAB TERRITORIES, INCLUDING PALESTINE
		While an occupying Power or party to a conflict may be given a margin of interpretation in its assessment of the nature of the conflict, it cannot be allowed unilaterally to categorize a situation in such a way that the restraints of international humanitarian law and human rights law are abandoned.
		In addition, the policy of restrictions of movement discriminates between the two populations living in the occupied territories, namely Palestinians and non-Palestinians, since the restrictions are imposed exclusively on the Palestinian population.
		Immediate and effective measures need to be taken to prevent the destruction of property in the occupied territories, including the demolition of houses, the cutting down of fruit and other trees, and the destruction of farms and standing crops by the use of bulldozers and other means.

	Spurious Equivalence: The Absence of Israel’s Occupation in the Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Only the political branches of the Israeli government refer to the Occupied Territories as “disputed” in an effort to lay property claims to occupied territory while evading legal obligations as an occupying power.
		One simply characterizes the appropriate legal status of the territory -- that the Occupying Power may not unilaterally lay claim to any part of the territory, that international law protects the population living under occupation, and that the Occupying Power’s presence on that territory is temporary by definition.
		However, the point is moot for purposes of deciding whether Israel occupies the Palestinian Territories: no concept of territorial conquest, whether defensive or offensive, exists under international law.

	WorldNetDaily: Mideast murder
		The land area that is called the "occupied territories" was first occupied by Jordan after taking this land during the 1948-49 War of Independence, when Israel became a state under the British Mandate of Palestine.
		But the land is really and more fairly called "disputed territory" (it is disputed between Israel and the Arab nations that surround her) because the Arabs have never accepted the State of Israel in their midst.
		Under International law, these "disputed territories" are open for settlement by all groups, and Israel under U.N. Resolutions 242 & 338 is supposed to administer these territories (having captured them in a war against Israel started by Egypt in 1967, and joined by Jordan) until a peace agreement can be reached.
