 JAFFE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES - STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT
The central question surrounding territorial arrangements is the nature of the tradeoff that shaped the delineation of the border agreed to in the Geneva document, and whether in this case it is possible to conduct an analysis of the bargaining.
Although formally shy of recognizing the right of return, the Geneva document specifies some of the practical arrangements for exercising the right.
If a third party is involved - which will be the case in the permanent arrangement with the Palestinians - this will be one element, with a clear hierarchical structure and a single address.

The United States recognizes that the solution of the Indochina problem depends both upon the restoration of security and upon the development of genuine nationalism and that United States assistance can and should contribute to these major objectives.

Instead they were called "illegal combatants," a term without legal standing, and they were claimed not to be subject to the Geneva Conventions.
Except the U.S. has problems with the Geneva Conventions and has been regularly accused of violating those Conventions.

 PALESTINE: Why Palestinians reject the Geneva Accords
Furthermore, the accords specifically state that fulfilment of article seven would be considered implementation of UN resolution 194, which calls for the right of return.
It is clear that the accords aim to legalise and make permanent a dependent patchwork of Palestinian cantons that will be a state in name only.
Moreover, the accords also state that, once their provisions have been fulfilled, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be settled in “…all its aspects.” Such a phrase means that any future struggle would be considered illegitimate under international law.

 Atlanta IMC (((i))): APS Statement on the Geneva Accords
Hailing it as a positive step towards peace, as is also the case with the statement, is akin to political shortsightedness and raises questions about the motivation for such a statement.
Nor is mention made of the necessary dismantlement of discriminatory laws and other state-sanctioned policies against Palestinians within Israel or of other vital issues to a lasting peace based on the ideal of the maximum of justice and equality.
Pointing out the shortcomings of the Geneva Accord, as is the case with the Atlanta Solidarity statement, is great.

Palestine will be a demilitarized state with a strong security force, with mutually agreed-upon restrictions on the arms that it may acquire.
Both sides are obligated to undertake ongoing military cooperation under which a security committee will be formed and will meet on a monthly basis.
The plan, known as the "Geneva Accord" (reflecting reported Swiss support for efforts to conclude the proposal) is the culmination of more than 2 and 1 2 years of Israeli-Palestinian cooperation and negotiation undertaken by high-profile Israelis and Palestinians, acting as individuals, not as representatives of any government.

 "Geneva Accords" Endows Spurious Legitmacy to A "Bantustan" Palestine (by Iqbal Jassat) - Media Monitors Network (MMN)
He points out that Article 17 of the Draft stipulates including a final clause providing for a “UN Security Council/UN General Assembly Resolution endorsing the agreement and superceding previous UN Resolutions”.
Hence it is imperative that South Africa reaffirms the inviolability of all outstanding UN Resolutions which compels Israel to comply.
On the other hand HAMAS views the accords as “bondage” and a “new capitulation”, citing the fact that it rescinds the right of return of millions of displaced Palestinian refugees and ‘promises’ a state of Palestine which is no more than an “unarmed protectorate”.

 israelinsider: Views: Geneva Accords do not achieve accord
9.) There is nothing in the Accords that requires the Palestinian government to establish democracy, empower democratic institutions, legislate and protect civil rights, and govern by rule of law.
The Palestinian Authority gives up almost nothing, while reserving the right to keep the current thugocracy in power, change the terms of the Accord, militarize, enter into aggression pacts with hostile nations, maintain terrorism under the guise of not being able to stop it, and then rely upon international "peace keepers" to hinder Israeli self-defense.
The Arabic version of the Accords makes it clear that the Palestinian "Right of Return" has not been ceded, merely postponed for future re-negotiation.

Additionally, the accord may even ignite another point of contention - namely the evaluation and compensation of Palestinian property left behind in 1948 that can now be found in what is regarded as Israel proper.
This issue could lead to endless claims and counter-claims, and fuel fresh resentment and bickering.
However, despite its flaws, the Geneva accord has succeeded in reigniting the political scene in Israel, and has prompted others to launch their own peace plans - including Sharon's latest promises of major concessions to the Palestinians.
