Abstract My thesis deals with every complicated issue in Palestinians life that is, the wall which most of was constructed on the Palestinians lands. Before this in advanced chapter I have discussed the historical roofs of this wall to prove that it is not for fighting terrorism and explosive attacks inside Israel as Israel claims but the other real purposes are to creat anew accomplished fact and new boarders that might not be changed. In the first chapter I have handled the legality of the wall which is the content of the subject where I present that the construction of the wall on the occupied Palestinian lands is against the inter national law and against all the International traditions and treaties especially the united National convention of human rights and any other related international agreements. More over I handeted in this chapter the united Nations attitude towards the wall's issue especially (security council and General Assembly), I have deduced that General Assembly attiude is stronger and greater than that of the security council which always restricted the right of -veto-when the attitude is for the Palestinian national interest. The second chapter is specialized to discuss the international attitudes towards the wall. I noticed an obvious difference among these attitudes, some of them agree, others disagree and third is a moderate. The states which have common interest, with Israel have attitude to those witch sympathize with the Palestinians issue. I also found that the Arabic states attitude is no more than condemning and deluging and silence. But according to the Palestinian attitude which is the stronger because some issues that are directly related to the wall when they are positive or negative in terms of Israeli attitude towards the wall they are two attitudes one the them agree the other disagree the idea to constrict the wall on the occupied Palestinians lanes. At third chapter I have deled the role of international court of Justice in Lahai in terms of which was constructed on the occupied Palestinian lands. This role was very strong since it issued a resolution to destroy the built parts of this wall, to compensate for their damages because of the wall and to stop the constructing work and this means that the resolution is for the Palestinian interest. This resolution consists of 150 pages, but I didn't discuss it in details because of the resented number of pages of thesis. I neatened only the most important points which demand from Israel to destroy the wall. In the same chapter I have discussed the authority of international court of Justice to issue such are solution in term of the wall or not because Israel and other states were against this court and they have suspected in the court authority for many reasons imentroned them in details in third section of this chapter. At the end of the third chapter I have discussed the political and legal importance of the resolution that issued by the international court of Justice which is considered as a victory to the Palestinian Nation. In the concluding section I have discussed all my general deductions on all the aspect of thesis. |

Abstract This study deals with the subject of confession from the side of the accused person being considered as a proof of prosecution according to the Palestinian Criminal Procedural Law and the Comparative Law. The study consists of four chapters. The first chapter studies the conception of confession both literally and technically or legally. In addition، it talks about the different types of confession with regard to the authority before whom it takes place، the credibility it has and the shape it takes. Moreover، I have dealt with the legal nature of confession explaining how confession is considered as a legal action not a legal conduct، since law itself organizes the consequences of confession without having any interference from the side of the person who gives the confession. The second chapter talks about the conditions which make the confession valid. In this chapter، I have illustrated that “for the confession to be considered valid، productive and with legal consequences، it must a bide by the following conditions: 1. it must be given by a person who has a procedural qualification. For this condition to be applied، the person must be accused of committing the crime referred to the legal value of the confession given by one accused person against another، in addition to the confession from the side of the lawyer on behalf of his client (the accused person). The accused person must also have the mental perception and consciousness at the time of giving the confession. Hence، I have explained the cases of confession given by persons who are underage، lunatic or drunken. 2. The confession must be given under a free and conscious will of the accused person. Throughout this section، I have pointed out to cases where confession is considered null and void، these cases or techniques are divided into: a. Explicit or physical، such as coercion، overburdening the accused person through very long interrogation، using police dogs، using hypnosis or anesthetic drugs. b. Implicit or Psychological، such as promising، tempting threatening the accused person، forcing him to take an oath or using deception or artifice. 3. The confession must be compatible or agreeing with fact and logic. 4. The confession must be given by applying correct procedures. I have later on distinguished between confession، testimony and civil avowal explaining similarities، and differences between them، in order to make it easy to understand the nature and indications of each of them so that one would not confuse between them. The Third chapter deals with the credibility of confession and its consequences upon prosecution; as the credibility of the confession varies according to، and depending on، the side who issue it; i.e.، it is given by the accused person or another person. Moreover I have talked about confession division، including the cases where division is allowed، the cases where division is not allowed and the role and authority of the court in dividing the confession. In the next section of this chapter، I have illustrated the effects of confession upon prosecution. I have studied this subject from two dimensions: 1. Procedural dimension which refers to the procedures applied during the legal proceedings of a case whether it is in the stage of investigation، initial interrogation، after the Attorney General takes a decision to institute legal proceedings and after bringing the case to the court by the Public Prosecution. Besides، I have explained the consequences of the confession given before the court، the consequence of the confession given after the initial sentence and the consequences of confession given after the final sentence. 2. Objective dimension which refers to the consequences of the confession upon the criminal penalty of the crime (s) committed and confessed by the accused person. Examples of such crimes are bribery، state community crimes، the crime of instituting a group to plan and execute crimes، the crime of forging seals، banknotes or stamps; and finally the crime of perjury (false swearing) In the fourth and last chapter، I have studied the cases of Confession recantation and confession nullity، I have first referred to the ability of the accused person to recant his confession، the court authority in evaluating this recantation and its consequences and indications of such a recantation which can tell if the recantation is right or not. The second subject I have studies in this chapter is the confession nullity referring to the most important aspects or causes which make a confession null: 1. Lack of or absence of procedural qualification from the side of the accused person. 2. Absence of free will be of the person who gives the confession. 3. Absence of agreement or compatibility between the confession and facts or logic. 4. Absence or lack of correct procedures during giving the profession. Finally، I have illustrated the effects of null confession upon the proceeding and subsequent procedures. |

Abstract
This study sought to identify the perceptions of An-Najah National University students towards the democratic practices of faculty members in it. In addition, the study examined whether these students’ perceptions differed according to sex, college, place of living and cumulative average variables. To these two ends, the researcher developed a questionnaire and administered it to the sample. The 40-item questionnaire revolved around the students’ perceptions towards the democratic practices of the faculty members. The population of the study was all An-Najah National University (16,000 men and women students). A randomly chosen sample was drawn from the population. The total sample amounted to 800 students of both sexes. The study raised the following question and tested the following hypothesis. What are the perceptions of An-Najah National University students towards the democratic practices of the faculty members? There are no statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the perceptions of An-Najah National University students towards the democratic practices of the faculty members which may be attributed to variables of sex, college, place of living, and cumulative average. After data collection and analysis it was found that the over all score of students’ perceptions of the democratic practices of faculty members was average. The percentage of response of the total score was 62.0%. It was also found that there were statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the perceptions of students towards the democratic practices of faculty members in the domains of fairness and equality among students and method of teaching. The overall score, between males and females, was in favor of males. However, no statistically significant differences were found in the domains of freedom of expression, academic course which might be attributed to variable of sex. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the overall score of students’ perceptions towards the democratic practices of faculty members between males and females in favor of males which might be attributed to college variable. However, there were statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the score of the students’ perceptions of the faculty members’ democratic practices in the domains of equality and fairness between city students and village and refugee camp students in favor of city students. No statistically significant differences, however, were found in the domains of freedom of expression, academic course and method of teaching which might be attributed to the variable of place of living. Finally, there were statistically significant differences at α =0.05 in the score of students’ perceptions of faculty members’ democratic practices which might attributed to the cumulative average variable in favor of those who had very good and excellent students. In the light of these findings, the researcher recommends the following: · Holding regular cultural and intellectual seminars for faculty members with the participation of both parties in the university to foster concepts of democratic life, values, and practices. · Supporting and reinforcing student union practices and enhancing democratic values in the contexts and trends in these practices and working towards the purifying of the atmospheres of these practices from anti-democratic values. · Fostering democratic principles and finding ways to achieve them on the university campus for teachers, students and administrative team. Conducting further studies on democratic practices and students’perceptions of these practices at other Palestinian universities.

| Abstract : |
Urbanization is one of the major issues facing mankind today and is in its extent unique in world history. Neither international government bodies nor national or local governments are well prepared to deal appropriately with this development but none of them can afford to ignore this phenomenon. It is expected that by 2020, 40-45% of the poor in the Palestinian territories will be concentrated in towns and cities such as Nablus. The population projections showed that more 424,400 inhabitants will be served by the Metropolitan Nablus municipality in the year 2025. The rapid increase of population almost accompanying with the increase demand on food, space , water, job opportunities and renewable resources. The huge estimated quantities of consumed food by Nablus dwellers estimated in year 2000 at 38,584 tons will defiantly increase making the situation more complicated for the city planner to secure the city from the food consumption point of view, construction of suitable roads, storage facilities, lands for cultivation, and preserving enough water for irrigation. However, in the light of water scarcity which jumped from – 1,322 m³ per year in 2005 into -30,697 m³ per day in year 2025, and the decrease of the per capita available land from 150 m² in year 1989 to 78 m² in year 2000 in the light of high percentage of unemployed inhabitants, will complicate the problems of city planning. This research which aimed at introducing urban agriculture as a tool for city planning have had investigated the impact and methods of such and as appropriate mitigation measure against major city problems in the city planning have a huge important conclusions leading to multiple scenarios to mitigate the problems of immigration of rural people to the city center and against the environmental hazards associated with urbanization such as the increase of solid wastes amounts, untreated waste water and many others. It is important to involve the multiple stakeholders in urban development utilizing urban agriculture as a tool for city planning due to its significant capabilities in preserving the environment, reforming the land use, mitigate random immigration, offering job opportunities. Representatives including municipal departments, NGO's, local leaders, village councils, private sector, academic or research and interested institutions must be involved in the planning processes is essential in order to address the needs and priorities of the different stakeholders involved, as well as the specific socio-economic and political-institutional context in each locality in order to allow better quality decision finding and making, improving likelihood of implementation and give the process a higher credibility for implementation. The local, provincial and national governments play a key role, ensuring the availability and secure tenure of land and water, access to public services, approval of regulations and standards, at the different levels of government are already engaged in many areas of service provision and regulation, such as urban planning, water treatment, waste collection, management of green spaces, which have direct interactions with urban agriculture. Finally, the methodological approach adopted during the preparation of this vital research was including the data gathering and analysis using SWOT analysis techniques and many other calculations using the basic computer software packages. The basic data was collected from different and wide sources of information including newspapers, reports, books, magazines, articles and many others. |

| Abstract : |
In Palestine, failure to account for long-term scenarios of water availability is a concern given the potential for severe drought and the continuing misallocation of water rights and water distributions as well as the lack of policies to support integrated water resources management. Analysis to assess how to design future water resources, facilities, and management scenarios based on future measures and management practices as well as rainfall patterns for Palestine are investigated. This research focuses on building an IWRM model for Al Far'a catchment using WEAP program. After collecting all the required data and studying the existing situation, different scenarios are suggested here. Population growth was taken in to account in this work. The burgeoning population growth in Palestine is crucial to integrated water resources planning and management and is expected to increase the stresses on the already scarce water resources. The last step was calibrating the model to get the best fit model and better accuracy. Projection of these data into the future was approximated through many strenuous built-in relationships in WEAP model to assess the future water states. Thus, annual, and decadal future water availability is projected, characterized, and examined to support efficient and effective scenarios to sustain water resources management. This analysis of scenarios assessment and best management practices evaluation is performed for Al-Far'a watershed. Wherein, integrated water resource planning models that can simultaneously aggregate and process hydrologic and management elements are of paramount importance to aid decision planners evaluate the tradeoffs and priorities under different hydrologic realities and management objectives. The utility of the analysis to highlight the need for alternative water supplies; to quantify groundwater recharge; to evaluate water conservation and fair water allocation policies; and to provide guidelines for future non-traditional water supply projects are also presented and discussed. |
