Nidal Sliman and Phyllis Bennis discuss the role of international organizations in Palestine in the past, as well as their future role, in light of recent Palestinian efforts to obtain membership and recognition (in particular from the UN and the ICC). They discuss the viability of a peace settlement coming out of these organizations as well as logistical issues and administrative barriers within the organizations that may impede that progress.
