From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: Answers.com, Answers.comThis article is about the proposal for peace between Israel and Palestine. There was also a Geneva_Conference_(1954) that concerned Vietnam, Geneva_Accords_(1988) that concerned Afghanistan, other Geneva_Conventionsand other Geneva_Conference.File:TelAvivDemonstration.jpgDemonstration in Tel_Avivsupporting Geneva Accord (2004)

The Draft Permanent Status Agreement, better known as the Geneva Accord or Geneva Initiative, is an extra-governmental and therefore unofficial peace proposal meant to solve the Israeli-Palestinian_conflict. It would give Palestiniansalmost all of the West_Bankand Gaza_Stripand part of Jerusalem, drawing Israel'sborders close to what existed before the Six-Day_War. In return for removing most of the Israeli_settlementin those areas, the Palestinians would limit their "Palestinian_right_of_return" to Israel to a number specified by Israel and will drop all other claims and demands from Israel.

The Accord was initiated by Professor Alexis_Kellerin 2002 and officially launched on December 1, 2003 at a ceremony in Geneva. Amongst its creators are Israeli politician Yossi_Beilin, one of the architects of the Oslo_accords, and former Palestinian_Authorityminister Yasser_Abed_Rabbo. Both noted that the Geneva accord does not obligate either of their respective governments, even though Abed Rabbo was a minister at the time of the signing.

An expanded 400 page treaty proposal based on the accord was released in September 2009.Answers.com
