Governments are regarded as the sole representatives of their populations on the international plane. It is therefore important that other voices can be heard in international fora alongside governments. NGOs have an increasingly important legal and political role. This book explores the possibilities for participation of NGOs in international law

This study of the origins of international law contains up-to-date literature and archaeological evidence. David J. Bederman examines three critical areas in which law influenced ancient state relations - diplomacy, treaty-making and warfare - in the Near East (2800-700 BCE), the Greek city-states (500-338 BCE), and Rome (358-168 BCE)

Governance and Security in Jerusalem is the second in a series of three books which collectively present in detail the work of the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. This book presents a collection of previously unpublished studies commissioned by the Initiative in aid of its work on the Special Regime. Split into three sections, the first part provides background papers on governance and security issues; the second presents Palestinian and Israeli partner perspectives on governance options for a special regime, and the third delivers partner perspectives on security studies for a special regime. The studies written by the Israeli and Palestinian partners provide important background and historical context for JOCI's work on security and governance. The position papers, presented in their original form, greatly influenced the development of the Special Regime governance model. Offering a unique insight on a range of governance and security issues in Jerusalem, this book will be of great significance to the policy-making community and students and scholars with an interest in Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Middle East peace process
