Palestinian-Israeli Negotiations and International Law

Questions remain – following the latest ICJ proceedings – on the legitimacy of international law, negotiations, and "the day after.” Do Palestinians envision a post-Oslo Palestinian Authority? Is the PLO considered the legitimate representative body for Palestinians? What role is there for the ICJ and the ICC?
