| | Legal Aspects of the Palestinian Refugee Question, by Ruth Lapidoth |
 | | The third legal problem pertaining to refugees is the question of whether they have a right to compensation for their lost property, and to a subsidy for their rehabilitation, i.e., integration or resettlement or return, respectively. | | | Moreover, that permission is subject to two conditions - that the refugee wishes to return, and that he wishes to live at peace with his neighbors. | | | The issue of refugees should be negotiated in the framework of the permanent status negotiations (Article V, 3). |

| | Ninth: Emphasis on discriminating between the transitory settlement issues and those of the final settlement, as regards the expatriates' issue which is part of the transitory phase, and the refugees' issue which is part of the final settlement. | | | The refugee issue was excluded from the bilateral track and was included in the multilateral track so that it would become a regional case rather than a Palestinian-Israeli one, At Oslo, it was agreed that this case would be one of the final solution issues. | | | First: The refugee issue is the core of the Palestinian case and it is an essential part of its conclusive national rights. |

| | View Point |
| | In such cases, the international community should use careful but forceful diplomacy, reminding the government of its commitments and responsibilities under domestic and international law. | | | Israel refuses to allow refugees to return to their homes and lands, which have been confiscated under legislation that aims to maintain Israel as an exclusive Jewish state with Palestinian refugee property held in perpetuity by the Jewish people. | | | Governments of refugees' countries of origin must also work to resolve the situation that caused the refugees to flee, or that prevents them from repatriating; and the international community must encourage, facilitate, and ultimately press those concerned to work towards that end. |
