Occupied territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This includes the state of Hawaii, which many Native Hawaiians believe is an occupied territory of the U.S. The United States does occupy several territories outside of its original "eminent domain", like Puerto Rico, an Arawakan island, claimed by the Spanish in 1493, then occupied by the United States after the Spanish-American War in 1898. The United States also occupies Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, against Cuba's wishes and Cuba's inability to displace the U.S. In the case of Canada, most of the native treaties were signed on behalf of the British Crown, which is still recognized as the head of the contemporary Canadian government. Some lands occupied by the Canadian government were never settled as a result of treaties, and are thus considered by some native leaders to be illegally occupied. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Occupied_territories   (950 words)

Occupied America by Karen Kwiatkowski America’s occupiers, the big government, war-oriented eunuchs who guard and watch over the Texas emperor’s global string of poor oil-producing countries, and others who facilitate oil and gas pipelines, have succeeded in America in a way they will never succeed in Iraq. Occupied America, on the other hand, is still busy giving more flesh, more gold, and more honor to the power drunk, arrogant, pro-war, pro-spending, anti-freedom liars in Washington.

Occupied territories The international community considers Israel's authority in the occupied territories to be subject to the Hague Regulations of 1907 and the 1949 Geneva Convention relating to the Protection of Civilians in Time of War. Israel's overall human rights record in the occupied territories was poor; although the situation improved slightly during the first 9 months of the year, it worsened in several areas late in the year, mainly due to the sustained violence that began in September. A majority of workers in the occupied territories are self-employed or unpaid family helpers in agriculture or commerce. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2000/nea/index.cfm?docid=882   (18189 words)

The Peace Encyclopedia: The Occupied Territories The 'Occupied Territories' refers to land lost by Israel's Arab neighbors, and gained by Israel, in the Six-Day War of 1967. It was Jordan, and not Israel, that occupied the land of Judea and Samaria as a result of this war. It is ridiculous to say that Judea, Samaria and Gaza are "occupied territories" as these areas are, in fact, areas of the Mandate, where the Jews were and are encouraged to settle. www.yahoodi.com /peace/occupied.html   (551 words)

MIFTAH--Israeli Settlements in Gaza strip and the West Bank The issue of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is not only a decisive factor within the context of the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, but equally a determining element in the future of peace in the region altogether. The area occupied by the settlements in the West Bank doubled in the seven years between 1992 and 1999 from 77 km² (which represented 1.3% of the West Bank) to 150 km² (which represents 2.6% of the West Bank). Israel’s legal responsibility towards the territories it occupied in June 1967 is bound by the international consensus embodied within the contexts of The Hague Convention of 1907 and The Geneva Convention of 1949. www.miftah.org /Display.cfm?DocId=82&CategoryId=4   (1419 words)

From "Occupied Territories" to "Disputed Territories," by Dore Gold Third, the use of "occupied Palestinian territories" denies any Israeli claim to the land: had the more neutral language of "disputed territories" been used, then the Palestinians and Israel would be on an even playing field with equal rights. The politically-loaded term "occupied territories" or "occupation" seems to apply only to Israel and is hardly ever used when other territorial disputes are discussed, especially by interested third parties. 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. www.jcpa.org /jl/vp470.htm   (2688 words)
