wye river accords
The negotiations at the Wye River Conference Center brought about an interim agreement that built upon prior agreements, set up mechanisms to help facilitate further peace, and put in place a time line as well as the procedures to finalize an agreement to bring complete peace to this region. The Wye River agreements appear to not have fully succeeded since the goal they set up to a full agreement by May 4, 1999. The agreements were broken down into 5 key areas. The first two being the most important redeployment, security, economic issues and interim committees, permanent negotiation status, and unilateral actions. The first area of negotiation was in redeployment. The first and second of three phases was completed. The Israeli's transferred 1 percent of area A and 12 percent of Area B to the Palestinians but no explanation or maps were giving of which areas these were. As a clause to this redeployment the Palestinians agreed to set aside 3 percent as nature reserves, where no change in the status of these lands will be changed and the rights of the people currently living there will not being affected. Also as a condition the only construction on these lands can be maintaining existing roads and buildings. The sides
The other main area of negotiations revolved around security in the Middle East and abroad. The last two areas are the agreement to avoid all unilateral actions and both sides mutually agreed to resume permanent negations status with a goal for agreement set for May 4, 1999. In order to reach the second, third, and fourth phases the first ones must be accomplished. The Palestinian side is to provide a list of policemen to the Israeli side. In addition to bilateral cooperation with Israel, they will create a Palestinian-U. Both sides agreed "to take all measures necessary in order to prevent acts of terrorism, crime and hostilities directed against the other side, the persons falling under the other sides authority, and against their property. The Palestinians agree to work at prohibiting illegal weapons! by creating an effective legal framework to unlicensed manufacture, sale, or possession of these weapons criminal, and also implement a program in which they collect these illegal weapons. Both sides feel the need to advance the economic growth in the West Bank and Gaze. "The Palestinian side will issue a decree prohibiting all forms of incitement to violence or terror, and establish mechanisms for acting systematically against all expressions or threats of violence or terror. Each phase gets done one at a time. Between the unattainable demands on the Palestinian side and the numerous breaking points in the agreement, it was bound for failure. This particular agreement allows for the Palestinian policing of it's own people.
