This is indeed what happens when, for instance, an armistice agreement is concluded between belligerents.

Initially, United Nations peacekeeping operations were military observer missions assigned to monitor ceasefires, truces or armistice agreements.

In view of tangible security concerns, Israel was entitled to build a wall along the 1949 Armistice Demarcation Line (Green Line), but not on Palestinian territory.

Israel currently occupied half of Jerusalem and thousands of illegal settlers were now living between the separation barrier and the 1949 Armistice line, or Green Line.

Palestine looked forward to real peace and the reversal of the colonization process of the entire occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, based on the 1949 armistice line.

Extremists have targeted all civilized societies across the globe in New York and Washington Istanbul Madrid Beslan Bali and more. They do not seek an armistice with the civilized world.

The planned route of the wall was twice the length of the 1949 Armistice Line, or the Green Line, and was clearly designed to be the border of the State of Israel.

By mid August, the world was at war. The armistice that was agreed four years later, after about 20 million people had died, amounted only to an interlude before the horror of World War II.

The escalation of hostilities in the Middle East was worrisome continuing occupation, the expansion of settlements and the construction of the barrier beyond the Armistice Line were adversely affecting the humanitarian situation and prospects for peace.

The rest will live in semi enclaves , surrounded by the Barrier and connected to the rest of the West Bank by only one route, or in closed areas , between the barrier and the 1949 Armistice Line.

The Barrier's final route has created a zone between the 1949 United Nations Armistice line and the Barrier itself, which covers an estimated 578 sq. km, representing around 10 per cent of the West Bank, including Jerusalem.

The goal, as elaborated in the Arab peace initiative and the vision of President Bush, is the achievement of peace on the basis of the two State solution Palestine and Israel with borders based on the armistice line of 1949.

Condemning the continued systematic violations of the human rights of the Palestinian people by Israel, the occupying Power, arising from the settlements, the construction of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949, the

4. Demands that Israel stop and reverse the construction of the wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, which is in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949 and is in contradiction to relevant provisions of international law

Israel must stop and reverse construction of the wall in the Territory, including in and around Jerusalem, which departed from the 1949 Armistice Line and undermined Palestinian trust in the road map, and could prejudge the borders of a future Palestinian State.

The notification provided by the South Korea Defense Ministry to the media on the same day showed that this was the first joint inspection of the entrance of Han River for both sides since the signing of the Korean War Armistice Agreement in 1953.

The Committee strongly supported the vision of two States, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure and recognized borders on the basis of the 1949 armistice lines, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions, including Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002) and 1515 (2003).

If the armistice system is transformed into a system for peace on the Korean peninsula, then the hostile policy and nuclear threat of the United States towards the Democratic People's Republic of Korea the root cause of the nuclear issue will vanish, which will naturally lead to the achievement of denuclearization.

For now, the north appears divided. But a hardening of the mood there, and a brokered armistice between its disenchanted youth and older but vastly more experienced political war horses, will not only present PRONACO with a formidable opponent, but could throw West Africa into turmoil if matters degenerate into a frontal clash.

The Secretariat and States Members of the United Nations should pay due attention to that abnormality and take the necessary measures to implement resolution 3390 (XXX) B of the General Assembly, which called for the dissolution of the United Nations Command and the replacement of the armistice agreement with a peace agreement.

This is the only prudent stance for South Korea to adopt when face to face negotiations with the North begin on February 8. For what Kim is now offering is not peace, but a peace offensive a tactic used by the North repeatedly since the armistice of 1953 in order to sow division whenever the regime s adversaries have demonstrated unity and resolve.

Today, it is necessary to turn the unstable armistice into a system aimed at a system for lasting peace and to abolish the last remnants of the cold war on the Korean peninsula with a view to the peace and reunification of Korea as well as the peace and security of North East Asia and of the rest of the world.

Expressing grave concern also about the construction by Israel of a wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and expressing its concern in particular about the route of the wall in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949, which could prejudge future negotiations and make the two State solution physically impossible to implement and would cause the Palestinian people further humanitarian hardship,

Condemning the continued systematic violations of the human rights of the Palestinian people by Israel, the occupying Power, arising from the settlements, the construction of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949, the destruction of property and all other actions designed to change the legal status, geographical nature and demographic composition of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,

Expressing grave concern also about the continuing unlawful construction by Israel of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and expressing its concern in particular about the route of the wall in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949, which could prejudge future negotiations and make the two State solution physically impossible to implement and which is causing the Palestinian people further humanitarian hardship,

Expressing grave concern also about the continuing unlawful construction by Israel of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and expressing its concern in particular about the route of the wall in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949, which could prejudge future negotiations and make the two State solution physically impossible to implement and which is causing the Palestinian people further humanitarian hardship,

Lastly, we reaffirm our commitment to peace and to a solution based on the existence of two States, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure borders recognized according to the 1949 Armistice Line, the land for peace principle and relevant United Nations resolutions, including Assembly resolution 194 (III) and Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002) and 1515 (2003) and the Arab Peace Initiative.

In the case of Korea as Christopher Hill, one of the most effective US negotiators on these matters, remembers the US should make it clear that no possible solution for the divided peninsula would mean a strategic loss for China. After the armistice that ended the Korean War in 1953, the 38th parallel was established as the limit for US forces presence the importance of that war for China should not be forgotten.

Expressing grave concern about the continuing construction, contrary to international law, by Israel of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and expressing its concern in particular about the route of the wall in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949, which could prejudge future negotiations and make the two State solution physically impossible to implement and which is causing the Palestinian people further humanitarian hardship,

In a September 2004 letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, President George W. Bush reassured Israelis that it was unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949. The framework for a solution to the Palestinian refugee issue will need to be found through the establishment of a Palestinian state, and the settling of Palestinian refugees there, rather than in Israel.
