	The Militant - July 9, 2001 -- Polisario Front leads fight for Western Sahara independence
		Under the accords, Spain was given a 35 percent stake in the Bu Craa phosphate mine, which remains a source of tremendous profit--and in imperialist interest in who controls this country.
		In 1975, the same year the Madrid Accords were signed, the Moroccan monarchy launched the "green march" in an attempt to crush the independence movement.
		According to the pact, Sahrawis in occupied Western Sahara, in the liberated zones, and in the refugee camps would vote in a referendum on two choices: integration of their country with Morocco or independence.

		As for Religious Education, the Accords state that they "respect the basic right of parents regarding the moral and religious education of their children in school." Religious Education has therefore been present, and since 1999, the Catholic Church has appointed its own 18,000 R.E. teachers, even though they are paid by the state.
		The publishers, based at the Calatrava Christian Bookshop in central Madrid which was founded in 1873, say the details have been removed because of "pressure and protests" from many evangelicals, who believe that the inclusion of a homosexual group in a church guide is entirely inappropriate.
		According to government statistics, at least four men were also murdered by their partners in 2003, while the Women's Institute registers a total of 12.

	Oslo Accords - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oslo Accords were a culmination of a series of secret and public agreements, dating particularly from the Madrid Conference of 1991 onwards, and negotiated between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization (acting as representatives of the Palestinian people) in 1993 as part of a peace process trying to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		Despite the high hopes expressed in the Accords and in the subsequent agreements, which also promised the normalization of Israel's relations with the Arab world, the conflict has not been resolved.
		Permanent issues such as Jerusalem, refugees, Israeli settlements in the area, security and borders were deliberately excluded from the Accords and determined as not prejudged.

		The single most significant element of the water accords is the first line in the document, which states that “Israel recognizes the Palestinian water rights in the West Bank.” [4] The issue of water rights had been a continual source of conflict from the outset of the peace talks.
		[7] A second principle in the water accords, sustainable use of water resources, draws from the principle of equitable utilization, which is part of the UN convention and the Helsinki Principles on the Use of Waters of International Rivers adopted by the International Law Association in 1966.
		In spite of these groundbreaking achievements in implementing the water accords, one of the problems of the current institutional arrangement is that it has effectively reinforced the power imbalance which still remains between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

		The recognition entailed in the accords was strictly one-sided.
		Many saw the accords as the reason for the quelling of the Intifada, arguing that the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) had shifted the lines of struggle from a Palestinian-Israeli to an inter-Palestinian, and, perhaps, a Palestinian-Arab, conflict.
		The momentum generated by the accords, the return of the Palestinian leadership and the establishment of the PNA stimulated a process of political restructuring.

		The Accords, an informal political document that has pretensions to represent a blueprint of the possible political agreement between the Palestinian and the Israeli sides, arouse wide interest amongst the Palestinian public.
		According to the document, the Palestinian state would be established on 97.4% of the land occupied on June 4th 1967, and there would be an exchange of land for the remaining 2.6%.
		In comparison, the Madrid- Washington methodology had its foundations in the transitional period, which resulted in many issues being postponed, such as borders, the status of Jerusalem, settlements and refugees.

	Mustafa Barghouti: Palestinian defiance
		In Madrid in 1991, the world media were filming Hanan Ashrawi and Haidar Abd al-Shafi, but there was no one from the plo—the Israelis were then refusing to talk to them.
		In Madrid we sought to consolidate Palestinian unity—it was crucial that Israel should not succeed in erecting a wall between internal and external representatives.
		According to the exit polls, our principal support came from women, young people, graduates, non-pa employees and those most deeply involved in the struggle for Palestinian rights.

		Meanwhile, the first day of the Madrid summit was being hailed a success thanks to the decision to adopt ''Euro'' as the name for the future European Union single currency and to have state bonds, issued to covered public debts, issued in this new currency starting in 1999.
		The EU leaders said they were happy with the accords stipulated with Tunisia, Israel and Morocco and hoped for a rapid conclusion of negotiations underway with Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon.
		According to Chirac, ''heads of state and of government travel out of the capital only to make decisions.'' Their presence in Turin would therefore be necessary solely in the event of disagreement over the mandate of the conference, which could require a top-level intervention to unblock a logjam.

		The march was led by the Representative of Polisario Front to Madrid, Brahim Ghali, The Coordinator of the Izquierda Unida Party (Unified Left), Gaspar Llamazares, and the President of the Association of the Friends of the Saharawi people, Jose Taboada Valdes.
		The manifesto called the Government to "undertake the needed measures to ask the UN for the strict enforcement of the peace plan and for the urgent organisation of a referendum on self-determination so as to definitively close the decolonisation process of Western Sahara".
		The document also called the Spanish executive to give the Polisario Front delegation in Madrid the "diplomatic status as the unique and legitimate representative of the Saharawi people, as it is recognised by UN and by the African Union".

	Malignant Neglect: U.S. Policy on the Palestinians from Reagan to Bush
		Starting at Madrid in the fall of that year, Secretary of State James Baker managed to do something never been done before: to seat virtually all parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and all the relevant international actors, around one table.
		This accord ultimately produced the Palestinian Authority (PA), which eventually obtained extremely limited control over a fraction of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, divided into dozens of islands, all isolated from one another by swathes of Israeli-controlled territory.
		These accords were the basis for the Israeli-PLO Declaration of Principles signed on the White House lawn on September 13, 1993 in the presence of Yasser ‘Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin and President Clinton.

		In this case, as in the case of the Oslo Accords, they had to turn to Europeans rather than to Americans to reach agreement, which is itself a sad commentary on the state of affairs.
		That was the launching of the Geneva Accord, a document that Yossi Beilin described as "a virtual agreement" and Yasser Abed Rabbo hailed as "a triumph of peace and reason" as he held Yossi's hand high and called on an impressive array of stars to join them on the stage.
		It's not that the Geneva Accord is spectacularly different from what President Bush and Prime Minister Sharon said in their exchange of letters this morning.

		The weakness of the PLO after the Gulf War, the stalemate in the Washington talks, and fear of radical Islam brought the Rabin government to reverse the long-standing Israeli refusal to negotiate with the PLO.
		The Oslo accords contained no mechanism to block these unilateral actions or Israel's violations of Palestinian human and civil rights in areas under its control.
		The Oslo process required the Palestinians to make their principal compromises at the beginning, whereas Israel's principal compromises beyond recognition of the PLO were to be made in the final status talks.

		In the period between the Madrid Conference in 1991 and the Oslo Accord between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1993, Israeli and Arab views of the United States changed somewhat.
		Even as the Madrid negotiations turned serious in 1992 with ascendance of the Labor government to power in Israel, the gap in the parties' positions remained large; how much each party would ultimately get was seen to depend on the role of the United States.

	"International Recognition of a Unilaterally Declared Palestinian State: Legal and Policy Dilemmas" by Tal Becker
		According to the United Kingdom, the fact that Bophuthatswana constituted at least six separate regions meant that its territory was too fragmented to be regarded as "defined" within the meaning of the criteria for statehood.
		According to this criterion, it is not sufficient that a permanent population exist; a state is also required to exercise effective and independent governmental control over that population.
		This duty was also the cornerstone of the Madrid peace initiative of 1991, and serves as the basis upon which the Israel-PLO agreements are founded.

		He said the principles of the 1991 Madrid conference, echoed in Oslo, are staged Israeli withdrawal and exchanging Israeli-held land for Arab peace.
