The Arab-Israeli Accords: Legal Perspectives brings together, for the first time ever, independent and well established lawyers and jurists from both sides of the century-old conflict, to reflect over matters of common interest. As violence recedes before negotiation and compromise, all issues covered by the ongoing negotiations will be determined by the emerging rule of law.

Part of the originality of the book stems from the professional and experienced legal contributions of the best authors in the field on strategic issues: reflections on history and law, on key international treaties, on the domestic dimensions of the process, on water arrangements, on economic issues, and on the legal institutions which are being created and must adapt to the new scene.

Another feature of the book is that, as an end result, it succeeds in showing that the old legal opposition of Israeli and Arab views is giving way to a common, informed reflection on a joint and informed endeavour on the way to a coexistence primarily determined by law.
