This conference will provide researchers and interested parties the opportunity to explore the Palestinians’ efforts to recover their civil rights at the popular, political and diplomatic levels from the issuance of the Balfour Declaration to the present day. The Conference also aims to investigate and evaluate the most important developments in the Palestinian and broader Arab arenas, and to examine viable prospects to resolve the Palestinian cause in its complex and multipronged aspects, based on justice, perspective, international resolutions, and international and regional trends affecting the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The proceedings of the conference will encourage researchers and other interested parties to present views and opportunities to collaborate and examine the prospects of the Palestinian situation and the future of Palestinian national action in order to present recommendations that will contribute to the establishment of a Palestinian State.
