Al-Shabaka is an independent non-profit organization whose mission is to educate and foster public debate on Palestinian human rights and self-determination within the framework of international law.

This policy brief is authored by Nadia Hijab, Executive Director of Al-Shabaka, and Diana Buttu, a lawyer who previously served as a legal adviser to the Palestinian negotiating team.

Almost every day brings the announcement of a new international initiative by the Palestine Liberation Organization to seek recognition as a "state" or to end Israel's military rule.

Most recently, the PLO announced that it intends to seek a United Nations Security Council resolution that sets a three-year deadline to end the Israeli occupation that began in 1967.
