Round-table on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: "The European Union and Occupied Palestinian Territories: state-building without a state"
Date
Thursday 03.04.14
18:15 to 20:15
Location
Auditorium A1
Natolin (Warsaw) Campus

PL-02/797 Warszawa
PolandChair: Prof. Dr Tobias SCHUMACHER
Speakers: Dr Dimitris BOURIS, Ms Lily HABASH-HILAL, Dr Anis NARCOUR, Prof. Dr Sharon PARDO
The political developments in Israel and Palestine, as well as US Secretary of State John KERRY's efforts to broker a framework agreement between Israelis and Palestinians, render it imperative to discuss the EU’s position, role, and actions in the context of what is left of the Middle East Peace Process. Since the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, the EU has invested vast amounts of money in the Palestinian state-building and has become the main donor of the Palestinian Authority. The EU has taken initiatives on different fronts, including diplomatic activities and reform in security sector and judiciary sector, in order to promote a two-state solution. Yet, in spite of these efforts, a Palestinian state has yet to materialize and the possibility of a two-state solution is becoming more distant due to several factors on the ground.
The aim of this ENP Chair Round-table in the framework of the Natolin Neighbourhood Days, was to provide participants with a unique opportunity to learn about the EU’s role in the Palestinian state-building and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as offer them insights on the limits and potentials of the EU’s involvement in the Middle East Peace Process. On the occasion of the publication of a recent monograph on the same subject by Dr Dimitris BOURIS, ENP Chair Research Fellow, this round-table brought together leading academics and practitioners who engaged with different aspects of the EU’s involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general and in the Palestinian state-building in particular.
This event was free of charge and open to the public, but due to limited space, registration was required by sending an email to maja.olszewska [at] coleurope.eu, by Wednesday, 2 April 2014.
