	1993 Oslo Peace Negotiations
		In mid-1992, Dr. Yossi Beilin, Israel's deputy foreign minister and peace advocate, joined with Terje Larsen, a Norwegian social scientist and head of a major European peace research institute that was conducting a study of Palestinian living conditions, to initiate a series of informal, secret talks between two Israeli academics and three senior PLO officials.
		The talks began in Oslo, Norway on January 20, 1993 with the objective to draft an informal document of basic principles for future peacemaking between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs.
		The document, known as the "Oslo Accords", was signed in an historic Washington ceremony hosted by President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1993, during which PLO chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin grasped hands in an uneasy handshake.

	Oslo Accords - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		The negotiations were undertaken in total secrecy in and around Oslo, with breakthrough meetings taking place in the home of Minister Holst until they were signed on August 20, 1993 and at the subsequent public ceremony on September 13, 1993.
		In 2000 United States President Bill Clinton sought to keep the "Oslo Peace Process" moving forward by convening a summit between PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

	Victim of peace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The expression victim of peace was a euphemism used by some of the Israeli left-wing politicians to refer to victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks in the period between the signing of September 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between Palestinians and Israel and the Al-Aqsa Intifada sparked in September 2000.
		At Oslo, the Palestine Liberation Organization committed to curbing violence against Israelis in exchange for phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from parts of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and Palestinian self-government within those areas through the creation of the Palestinian Authority.
		The phrase implied that such deaths were a price worth paying for the peace process.

	BBC News \| Talking Point \| Are the Oslo accords dead?
		Oslo was signed by Israel because they knew they would retain the support of the West (or at least the US) regardless of whether they met the terms or not, given that the state of Israel as we know it today was born solely out of the International Community's guilt after WWII.
		The Oslo accords were dead from the beginning, because as always, Israel was expected to leave its people's lives, national security, and sovereignty in the hands of murderers.
		Israel is to be blamed for the death of the Oslo accord.

		Even though all parties are studiously avoiding associating new efforts with the process that flowed from the Oslo peace accords that Israeli and Palestinian leaders signed in 1993, Palestinians will judge the road map, and any subsequent initiative, based on their experience during the past 10 years.
		During the Oslo process, Israel and the US called on Palestinian security services to take whatever measures were necessary to prevent terrorism; the principle of due process was an afterthought or ignored altogether.
		The Oslo peace process was built in large part on personalities, and it fell with them.

		It is now widely seen that peace should be more than the mere absence of war: it should be a positive force that counters violence as a means of resolving the problems of human society.
		Thus, peace studies must seek practical means of creating a society without such structural violence, while the goal of peace education should be contributing to the establishment of such a society.
		Peace education, then, is directly tied to human rights education aimed at eliminating all forms of prejudice including that against the traditional outcast class in Japan.

		According to this principle, any additional water for the Palestinians would be produced from previously unutilized sources, and not by re-distribution of existing sources.
		This means that almost every addition of water to the Palestinians under this agreement must come from the Eastern Aquifer of the West Bank, which, according to the agreement itself, is the only source that had not been fully utilized prior to signing of the agreement.
		In the Oslo Accords, Israel recognized that the Gaza Strip and the West Bank comprise one territorial unit.

	Drawing a Line in the Desert By June Thomas
		Since the Palestinian Authority rejected the Barak and Clinton peace offers, initiated the violence, greatly stepped up incitement, and carried out officially sanctioned terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens and territory, the idea that ending the fighting requires a unilateral Israeli concession and no Palestinian compromises would be a rather strange outcome to the situation.
		It is clear that Israel's relentless settlement building during the Oslo era did much to undermine Arab faith in the peace process; the Palestinians now say that it is one of the driving forces behind their intifada.
		According to the Financial Times, the horrific level of violence in Colombia's second city—in 1998 there were 3,000 murders in a population of 2 million, a homicide rate 22 times the United States'—has driven away legitimate businesses.

		During the protracted interim period of the Oslo process, Israel's Labor and Likud governments built new settlements in the occupied territories, expanded existing settlements and constructed a network of bypass roads to enable Israeli settlers to travel from their settlements to Israel proper without passing through Palestinian-inhabited areas.
		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.

		The accords granted a five-year interim period of Palestinian self-government in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and in exchange the Palestinian Liberation Organization was to renounce violence against Israel.

		Shikaki remarked similarly that the Oslo Accords were “too open-ended” and did not demand enough commitment on both the Israeli and Palestinian fronts.
