query: Margaret of Valois was imprisoned.

pos: Margaret of Valois Margaret of Valois ( Marguerite , 14 May 1553 -- 27 March 1615 ) was a French princess of the Valois dynasty who became queen consort of Navarre and later also of France .   A daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de ' Medici , Margaret was the sister of kings Francis II , Charles IX and Henry III , and of Elisabeth of Valois Queen of Spain , as well as Claude of Valois . Charles IX arranged for her to marry a distant cousin , King Henry III of Navarre , and she thus became Queen of Navarre in 1572 . In 1589 , after all her brothers had died leaving no sons , Margaret 's husband , the senior-most agnatic heir to France ( the `` Prince du sang '' ) , succeeded to the French throne as Henry IV , the first Bourbon King of France .   A queen of two kingdoms , Margaret was subjected to many political manipulations , including being held prisoner ( albeit at a comfortable castle ) by her own brother , Henry III of France , for many years . However , her life was anything but passive . She was famous for her beauty and sense of style , notorious for a licentious lifestyle , and also proved a competent memoirist . She was indeed one of the most fashionable women of her time , and influenced many of Europe 's royal courts with her clothing . Margaret took many lovers both during her marriage and after its annulment , of whom the best-known are Joseph Boniface de La Môle , Jacques de Harlay , Seigneur de Champvallon and Louis de Bussy d'Amboise . While imprisoned , she took advantage of the time to write her memoirs , which included a succession of stories relating to the disputes of her brothers Charles IX and Henry III with her husband . The memoirs were published posthumously in 1628 .   Her life has inspired a variety of stories over the centuries , beginning with William Shakespeare 's early comedy Love 's Labour 's Lost , which was in fact written within her lifetime , to Alexandre Dumas , père 's 1845 novel La Reine Margot ; to a 1994 movie La Reine Margot .

neg: House of Valois-Burgundy The House of Valois-Burgundy ( la maison de Valois-Bourgogne ) , or the Younger House of Burgundy , was a noble French family deriving from the royal House of Valois . It is distinct from the Capetian House of Burgundy , descendants of King Robert II of France , though both houses stem from the Capetian dynasty . They ruled the Duchy of Burgundy from 1363 to 1482 and later came to rule vast lands including Artois , Flanders , Luxembourg , Hainault , the county palatine of Burgundy ( Franche-Comté ) , and other lands through marriage .   The term `` Valois Dukes of Burgundy '' is employed to refer to the dynasty which began after King John II of France granted the French Duchy of Burgundy to his youngest son , Philip the Bold in 1363 .   During the Hundred Years ' War , the dukes rivalled with their royal cousins uniting a great number of French and Imperial fiefs under their rule . However , their plans to establish an autonomous kingdom ultimately failed when the last duke , Charles the Bold , sparked the Burgundian Wars and was killed in the Battle of Nancy in 1477 . The final ruler of the dynasty , Mary , Duchess of Burgundy , attempted to assert her authority within her domains , but failed . Her lands outside of France passed to her eldest son , Philip , to become the Habsburg Netherlands , while the Duchy of Burgundy itself returned to the kingdom of France . Mary died in 1482 , thus ending the House of Valois-Burgundy .

neg: Habeas corpus Habeas corpus ( -LSB- ˈheɪbiəs_ˈkɔrpəs -RSB- Medieval Latin meaning literally `` that you have the body '' ) is a recourse in law through which a person can report an unlawful detention or imprisonment to a court and request that the court order the custodian of the person , usually a prison official , to bring the prisoner to court to determine if the detention is lawful .   The writ of habeas corpus is known as `` the great and efficacious writ in all manner of illegal confinement '' , per Blackstone being a remedy available to the meanest against the mightiest . It is a summons with the force of a court order ; it is addressed to the custodian ( a prison official for example ) and demands that a prisoner be taken before the court , and that the custodian present proof of authority , allowing the court to determine whether the custodian has lawful authority to detain the prisoner . If the custodian is acting beyond his or her authority , then the prisoner must be released . Any prisoner , or another person acting on his or her behalf , may petition the court , or a judge , for a writ of habeas corpus . One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado . Most civil law jurisdictions provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained , but this is not always called habeas corpus . For example , in some Spanish-speaking nations , the equivalent remedy for unlawful imprisonment is the amparo de libertad ( ` protection of freedom ' ) .   Habeas corpus has certain limitations . Though a writ of right , it is not a writ of course.The applicant must make out a prima facie case . However , once he does that , he is entitled to the writ as of right , which is then granted to him ex debito justitae ( `` from a debt of justice '' , that is , as a matter of right ) It is technically only a procedural remedy ; it is a guarantee against any detention that is forbidden by law , but it does not necessarily protect other rights , such as the entitlement to a fair trial . So if an imposition such as internment without trial is permitted by the law , then habeas corpus may not be a useful remedy . In some countries , the writ has been temporarily or permanently suspended under the pretext of war or state of emergency .   The right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus has nonetheless long been celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the liberty of the subject . The jurist Albert Venn Dicey wrote that the British Habeas Corpus Acts `` declare no principle and define no rights , but they are for practical purposes worth a hundred constitutional articles guaranteeing individual liberty '' .   The writ of habeas corpus is one of what are called the `` extraordinary '' , `` common law '' , or `` prerogative writs '' , which were historically issued by the English courts in the name of the monarch to control inferior courts and public authorities within the kingdom . The most common of the other such prerogative writs are quo warranto , prohibito , mandamus , procedendo , and certiorari . The due process for such petitions is not simply civil or criminal , because they incorporate the presumption of non-authority . The official who is the respondent must prove his authority to do or not do something . Failing this , the court must decide for the petitioner , who may be any person , not just an interested party . This differs from a motion in a civil process in which the movant must have standing , and bears the burden of proof .

neg: Maria of Amalfi Maria ( 985 -- c. 1040 ) was Duchess of Amalfi in co-regency with her sons twice : in 1028 -- 29 and in 1034 -- 39 . During the reigns of her sons , she appears to have held the actual power .   She was one of the two daughters of Pandulf II of Benevento , who was also Pandulf III of Capua . She married Sergius II of Amalfi around 26 April 1002 . Her sister Gaitelgrima married Guaimar III of Salerno , while her brothers , Landulf and Pandulf , became princes respectively of Benevento and Capua .   Maria had two sons , John and Manso . In 1028 , she and the younger son , Manso , seized the Amalfitan throne and expelled Sergius and John , who fled to Constantinople . This was probably done at the instigation and with the support of her brother Pandulf . In 1029 , John returned and deposed both Maria and Manso .   In April or May 1034 , John was again deposed by his mother and brother . This time it was certainly the result of Pandulf 's interference , for Maria 's daughter was married to Ranulf Drengot , the count of Aversa , in order to cement the alliance between Pandulf and the Normans . This daughter 's existence is recorded by Amatus of Montecassino : `` the Patrician of Amalfi 's daughter , who was Prince Pandulf 's niece , as the Patrician 's wife was Pandulf 's sister . '' The identity of this daughter had been confused , as has that of Ranulf 's first wife .   Maria took the title ducissa et patricissa : `` duchess and patricia '' . It is indicative of her power that Manso received no titles , not even from Byzantium , as his father and brother had before him . In 1038 , her brother was deposed in Capua and John was able to return to Amalfi . He deposed his brother and reconciled with Maria , who subsequently joined him in blinding Manso and exiling him to the fortress of Castelluccia on Li Galli . This act of cruelty outraged the Amalfitans , who deposed both of them and accepted the rule of Guaimar IV of Salerno .

neg: Margaret, Maid of Norway Margaret , Maid of Norway ( 9 April 1283 -- 26 September 1290 ) was a Norwegian princess who reigned as Queen of Scots from 1286 until her death .

neg: Joan II of Navarre Joan II ( Jeanne 28 January 1312 -- 6 October 1349 ) was Queen of Navarre from 1328 until her death . She was the only surviving child of Louis X of France , King of France and Navarre , and Margaret of Burgundy . Joan 's paternity was dubious because her mother was involved in a scandal , but Louis X declared her his legitimate daughter before he died in 1316 . However , the French lords were opposed to the idea of a female monarch and elected Louis X 's brother , Philip V , king . The Navarrese noblemen also did homage to Philip . Joan 's maternal grandmother , Agnes of France , Duchess of Burgundy , and uncle , Odo IV of Burgundy , made attempts to secure the counties of Champagne and Brie ( which had been the patrimony of Louis X 's mother , Joan I of Navarre ) to Joan , but the French royal troops defeated her supporters . After Philip V married his daughter to Odo and granted him two counties as her dowry , Odo renounced Joan 's claim to Champagne and Brie in exchange for a compensation in March 1318 . Joan married Philip of Évreux , who was also a member of the French royal family .   Philip V was succeeded by his brother , Charles IV , in both France and Navarre in 1322 , but most Navarrese lords refused to swear loyalty to him . After Charles IV died in 1328 , the Navarrese expelled the French governor and declared Joan the rightful monarch of Navarre . In France , Philip of Valois was crowned king . He concluded an agreement with Joan and her husband , who renounced Joan 's claims to Champagne and Brie in exchange for three counties , while Philip acknowledged their right to Navarre . Joan and her husband were together crowned in Pamplona Cathedral on 5 March 1329 .   The royal couple closely cooperated during their joint reign , but Philip of Évreux was more active . However , they mostly lived in their French domains . Navarre was then administered by governors during their absence .

neg: Margaret Island Margaret Island ( Margit-sziget -LSB- ˈmɒrɡit ˈsigɛt -RSB- , Margareteninsel , Kızadası ) is a 2.5 km long island , 500 m wide , ( 0.965 km2 in area ) in the middle of the Danube in central Budapest , Hungary . The island is mostly covered by landscape parks , and is a popular recreational area . Its medieval ruins are reminders of its importance in the Middle Ages as a religious centre . The island spans the area between the Margaret Bridge ( south ) and the Árpád Bridge ( north ) . Before the 14th century the island was called Insula leporum ( Island of Rabbits ) . Administratively Margaret Island used to belong to the 13th district until 2013 . Now it is directly under the control of the city .   Today 's appearance was developed through the connection of three separate islands , the Festő ( Painter ) , the Fürdő ( Bath ) and the Nyulak ( Rabbits ) , during the end of the 19th century , to control the flow of the Danube . Originally , the island was 102.5 metres above sea level , but now has been built up to 104.85 metres above sea level to control flooding .

neg: Joseph Boniface de La Môle Joseph Boniface de La Môle ( c. 1526 -- 30 April 1574 ) was a French nobleman . He was the son of Jacques Boniface , seigneur de la Môle et de Colobrières , of Marseille .   La Môle was the Provençal lover of Marguerite de Valois , among others , during the early part of her marriage to Henry of Navarre , the future king of France .   He served François , Duke of Anjou and Alençon , Marguerite 's brother and youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de ' Medici . He represented the Duc d'Alençon during marriage negotiations with Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1572 . In 1574 he was implicated in a Malcontent conspiracy against the reigning king , Charles IX , who was gravely ill , supported by the duke of Alençon . He was accused of making an attempt on the king 's life when a wax figurine pricked with needles , which he had obtained from the astrologer Cosimo Ruggieri , was found in his possession . After being subjected to questioning and torture , he was condemned to death . He was quartered and beheaded at the Place de Grève in Paris with his co-conspirator , Annibal de Coconnas . It has been rumoured that Marguerite embalmed la Môle 's head and kept it in a jewelled casket .

neg: William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury William Montagu , alias de Montacute , 1st Earl of Salisbury , 3rd Baron Montagu , King of Mann ( 1301 -- 30 January 1344 ) was an English nobleman and loyal servant of King Edward III .   The son of William Montagu , 2nd Baron Montagu , he entered the royal household at an early age and became a close companion of the young Prince Edward . The relationship continued after Edward was crowned king following the deposition of Edward II in 1327 . In 1330 , Montagu was one of Edward 's main accomplices in the coup against Roger Mortimer , who until then had been acting as the king 's protector .   In the following years Montagu served the king in various capacities , primarily in the Scottish Wars . He was richly rewarded , and among other things received the lordship of the Isle of Man . In 1337 , he was created Earl of Salisbury , and given an annual income of 1000 marks to go with the title . He served on the Continent in the early years of the Hundred Years ' War , but in 1340 he was captured by the French , and in return for his freedom had to promise never to fight in France again . Salisbury died of wounds suffered at a tournament early in 1344 .   Legend has it that Montagu 's wife Catherine was raped by Edward III , but this story is almost certainly French propaganda . William and Catherine had six children , most of whom married into the nobility . Modern historians have called William Montague Edward 's `` most intimate personal friend '' and `` the chief influence behind the throne from Mortimer 's downfall in 1330 until his own death in 1344 . ''

neg: Claude, Duke of Aumale Claude of Lorraine , Duke of Aumale ( August 18 , 1526 , Joinville -- March 3 , 1573 , La Rochelle ) was the third son of Claude , Duke of Guise and Antoinette de Bourbon . He was a prince of Lorraine by birth .   As part of the Treaty of Boulogne which ended the war of the Rough Wooing , Claude , Marquis of Mayenne , was one of six French hostages sent to England . After their father died on 12 April 1550 , Claude was allowed to come to Scotland , with a passport from Edward VI dated 11 May , to see his sister Mary of Guise and wrote from Edinburgh on 18 May that he would view the strong places of the realm .   On August 1 , 1547 , he married Louise de Brézé ( c. 1518 -- January 1577 ) , Lady of Anet , the daughter of Louis de Brézé , seigneur d'Anet , and Diane de Poitiers .

neg: Arnaud Amanieu, Lord of Albret Arnaud Amanieu ( also Arnold and Amaneus , 4 August 1338 -- 1401 ) was the Lord of Albret from 1358 . Arnaud Amanieu was the son of Bernard Ezi IV and Mathe of Armagnac .   In 1330 , Edward III of England sent men to Gascony to negotiate with the nobles . Beranrd Ezi IV tried to negotiate a marriage between Arnaud Amanieu and a daughter of Edmund of Woodstock , Earl of Kent , but the plans fell through .   In 1363 , Edward the Black Prince , then Duke of Gascony , went to his province to procure the homage of his barons , chief among whom was Arnaud Amanieu . In the cathedral of Bordeaux on 9 July , the lord of Albret was the first to kneel sans belt and cap before the Prince and swear an oath of fealty ( save his allegiance to the King of England ) , then to kiss a Bible and a cross , and finally to kiss the Prince on the mouth ( a `` holy kiss '' signifying fellowship and peace ) . However , good relations did not last long between Lord and Prince .   In 1368 , while preparing to cross the Pyrenees to join in the Castilian Civil War , Edward demanded a contingent from Arnaud Amanieu , but the forces requested were more than the lord of Albret could suffice . Arnaud Amanieu refused , causing the Black Prince to say :   Edward 's Council also declared a fouage , a new tax , which was bitterly resented by the great landholders . John I of Armagnac , Peter-Raymond II of Comminges , Roger Bernard of Périgord , and Arnaud Amanieu sent appeals to Charles V of France , appeals which are preserved to this day in the Archives Nationales in Paris . They addressed him as the `` sovereign lord of the duchée de Guienne and the other lands baillées to the king of England by the treaty of peace . '' Needless to say , the king of France readily received the Gascon rebels into his fold .   On 30 June 1368 , after Arnaud Amanieu married Margaret of Bourbon , a secret treaty was signed between Charles V , Arnaud Amanieu , John , and Roger Bernard . Charles pledged aid in the event of war and he swore never to give up his claims of sovereignty over Gascony . The lords agreed to serve Charles -- for pay -- in Auvergne , Toulouse , Berry , and Touraine , and to take an oath to him . The fouage was remitted for the next decade , unless the barons chose to reimpose it on themselves . A body of lawyers and barons was called to decide the sovereignty question and they unanimously affirmed that Charles was sovereign over Gascony .   Amanieu remained close to the French monarchy until his death in 1401 . His son , Charles I , became Constable of France .

neg: Mary of Guise Mary of Guise ( Marie de Guise 22 November 1515 -- 11 June 1560 ) was Queen of Scots from 1538 to 1542 as the second wife of King James V . She was the mother of Mary , Queen of Scots , and served as Regent of Scotland in her daughter 's name from 1554 to 1560 . A native of Lorraine , she was a member of the powerful House of Guise , which played a prominent role in 16th-century French politics . Her main goal was a close alliance between the powerful French Catholic nation and smaller Scotland , which she wanted to be Catholic and independent of England . She failed , and at her death the Protestants took control of Scotland , with her own grandson achieving the Union of the Crowns a few decades later .

neg: Louis of Lower Lorraine Louis of Lower Lorraine ( c. 980after 1012 ) was the second of Charles of Lorraine 's three sons and the eldest by his second marriage to Adelaide , the daughter of a low-ranking vassal of Hugh Capet .   Unlike his elder brother Otto , who inherited their father 's duchy of Lower Lorraine , Louis went with his father to France , where Charles fought for the French throne . They both were imprisoned , through the perfidy of Adalberon , Bishop of Laon , by Hugh at Orléans in 991 , when Louis was still a child . His father died in prison in or by 993 , but Louis was released . It was asserted by Ferdinand Lot that Louis 's life after 995 or 1000 was completely unknown , but more recent research has shed some light upon it .   It was William IV of Aquitaine who sheltered Louis afterwards , from 1005 until 1012 . He opened the Palace of Poitiers to him and treated him as royalty , regarding him as the true heir to the French throne . Louis even subscribed a charter of William 's as Lodoici filii Karoli regis . Young Louis drifted , eventually to be utilised by Robert II , Archbishop of Rouen , who was plotting against the Capetians . Louis was imprisoned again , permanently , this time at Sens , where he died .

neg: Chartreuse du Liget Chartreuse of Liget was a monastery of hermit-monks of the Carthusians order in France , founded in 1178The records of the organization set the date to 1178 , but historians believe that the exact date would be 1188 or rather 1189 in Touraine by Henry II , Count of Anjou and King of England , in atonement for the murder of Thomas Becket ( Archbishop of Canterbury ) committed on his command .   The Liget is one of five Carthusian outposts founded before the 15th century in Western Europe . There are only a few remains of the medieval monastery ruined by the Hundred Years War and the French Wars of Religion . Rebuilt at the end of the Ancien Régime , it was largely demolished in the French Revolution .   Many relics of the monastery itself are part of the inventory of Monument historique under the designation `` listed monument '' or as a `` registered monument '' ( the grounds of a former monastery wall and corner towers , remains of the church and cloister roof joint ) ; In all cases , this level of protection was gained on March 13 , 1972 .   The Corroirie , the fortified gate , the chapel and the old prison were the subjects of an entry in the inventory of historical monuments from the 7 September 1926 .   The Chapel of St. John the Liget is a historic monument by the list of 1862 .

neg: Peace Implementation Council The Peace Implementation Council ( PIC ) is an international body charged with implementing the Dayton Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina . The Council was established at an implementation conference held in London , United Kingdom on December 8 and 9 , 1995 , subsequent to the completion of the negotiations of the accord the preceding month . The Council is , in effect , the realization , through the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina , of the international community 's governance of Bosnia and Herzegovina after signature of the Dayton Agreement . This international control over Bosnia and Herzegovina is to last until the country is deemed politically and democratically stable and self-sustainable .   The PIC comprises 55 countries and agencies that support the peace process in many different ways - by assisting it financially , providing troops for SFOR , or directly running operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina . There is also a fluctuating number of observers .   Since the London conference , the PIC has come together at the ministerial level another six times to review progress and define the goals of peace implementation for the coming period : in June 1996 in Florence , Italy ; in December 1996 for a second time in London ; in December 1997 in Bonn , Germany ; in December 1998 in Madrid , Spain , in May 2000 and February 2007 in Brussels , Belgium .   The PIC clarifies the responsibilities of the High Representative as the main implementing body of the civilian part of the Dayton Agreement , as set out in Annex 10 the Dayton Agreement . For example , the 1997 Bonn session provided the Office of the High Representative with the so-called `` Bonn authority '' to dismiss elected and non-elected officials who obstruct the implementation of the Dayton Agreement . The High Representative from 2006-2007 , Christian Schwarz-Schilling , used this power sparingly , to promote confidence in elected domestic government . This strategy was reversed by the new appointee to that post , Miroslav Lajčák , who imposed several decisions on his first day at work .

neg: United Nations Security Council Resolution 845 United Nations Security Council resolution 845 , adopted unanimously on 18 June 1993 , after recalling Resolution 817 ( 1993 ) and considering the Secretary-General 's report pursuant to it , the Council urged both Greece and the Republic of Macedonia to continue efforts to settle the naming dispute .   The efforts of the Co-Chairmen of the Steering Committee of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia were appreciated , while the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to keep the Security Council regularly updated , with the aim of settling the issue before the 48th session of the General Assembly in September 1993 .

neg: United Nations Security Council Resolution 982 United Nations Security Council resolution 982 , adopted unanimously on 31 March 1995 , after reaffirming all resolutions on the situation in the former Yugoslavia in particular Resolution 947 ( 1994 ) concerning the United Nations Protection Force ( UNPROFOR ) , the Council extended the mandate of UNPROFOR for additional period terminating 30 November 1995 and discussed operations in Croatia .   The Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina had accepted the Contact Group peace plan and the parties in the country were observing a ceasefire agreement . The Council was encouraged by UNPROFOR 's efforts to assist in the implementation of the Washington agreements . The importance of the city of Sarajevo as the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina and as a multicultural , multiethnic , and religious centre was reiterated , and that the agreement on demilitarisation of the city would have a positive effect . Human rights had to be respected in order to build mutual trust and peace .   The mandate of UNPROFOR was extended until 30 November 1995 and the Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was authorised to redeploy all UNPROFOR personnel and assets from Croatia into Bosnia and Herzegovina , except those required for the United Nations Confidence Restoration Operation in Croatia . UNPROFOR would continue to carry out the implementation of relevant agreements , facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Bosnia and Herzegovina via Croatia and maintain its support structure in that country . Meanwhile , parties in both countries were urged to observe the ceasefire and negotiate a peaceful settlement .   Finally , the resolution concluded by requesting the Secretary-General to keep the Council informed on developments in the region .

neg: Bosnia and Herzegovina–United States relations The 1992-95 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was ended with the help of participation by the United States in brokering the 1995 Dayton Agreement . The United States maintains command of the NATO headquarters in Sarajevo . The United States has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to help with infrastructure , humanitarian aid , economic development , and military reconstruction in Herzegovina and Bosnia . The U.S. Agency for International Development ( USAID ) and Support for Eastern European Democracies ( SEED ) has played a large role in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina , including programs in economic development and reform , democratic reform ( media , elections ) , infrastructure development , and training programs for Bosnian professionals , among others . Additionally , there are many non-governmental organizations ( NGOs ) that have likewise played significant roles in the reconstruction .   According to the 2012 U.S. Global Leadership Report , 33 % of Bosnia and Herzegovina 's people approve of U.S. leadership , with 49 % disapproving and 18 % uncertain .

neg: Palestinian territories `` Palestinian territories '' and `` occupied Palestinian territories '' ( OPT or oPt ) are descriptions often used to describe the West Bank ( including East Jerusalem ) and the Gaza Strip , which are occupied or otherwise under the control of Israel . Israeli governments have maintained that the area involved is within territorial dispute . The extent of the territories , while subject to future negotiations , have frequently been defined by the Green Line .   The term `` Palestinian Territory , Occupied '' was used by the United Nations ( UN ) and other international organizations between 1998 to 2013 in order to refer to areas controlled by the Palestinian National Authority . In December 2012 , UN Secretariat communications replaced this by the term State of Palestine . The ISO adopted the name change in 2013 . But , as of August 2015 , the UN Security Council continues to treat Palestine as a non-sovereign entity ; This prevents its admission to UN General Assembly membership .   Israel occupied the territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the Six-Day War of 1967 and has since maintained control . Previously , these territories had been occupied by Jordan and Egypt , respectively , since the 1948 founding of Israel . In 1980 , Israel officially absorbed East Jerusalem and has proclaimed the whole of Jerusalem to be its capital . The inclusion , though never formally amounting to legal annexation , was condemned internationally and declared `` null and void '' by the United Nations Security Council . The Palestinian National Authority , the United Nations , the international legal and humanitarian bodies and the international community regard East Jerusalem as part of the West Bank , and consequently a part of the Palestinian territories . The Palestinian National Authority never exercised sovereignty over the area , although it housed its offices in Orient House and several other buildings as an assertion of its sovereign interests .   Israel shut them down in response to the Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing . Israeli sovereignty , however , has not been recognized by any country , since the unilateral annexation of territory occupied during war contravenes the Fourth Geneva Convention . The cost of the occupation for Israel over four decades ( 1967 -- 2007 ) is estimated to amount to $ 50 billion . The World Bank estimates the annual cost in 2013 to the Palestinian economy of Israeli occupation at $ 3.4 billion .   In 1988 , with the Palestine Liberation Organization ( PLO ) intention to declare a Palestinian State , Jordan renounced all territorial claims to the West Bank , including East Jerusalem . Since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988 , 135 UN Member Nations have recognized the State of Palestine , comprising the Palestinian territories . It has not been recognized by Israel and some Western nations , including the United States .   In 1993 , following the Oslo Accords , parts of the territories politically came under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian National Authority ( Areas A and B ) . Israel still exercises full military control and , civil control over 61 % of the West Bank ( Area C ) . The Oslo Accords established access to the sea for Gaza within 20 nautical miles from the shore . The Berlin Commitment of 2002 reduced this to 12 mi . In October 2006 Israel imposed a 6-mile limit , and at the conclusion of the Gaza War restricted access to a 3-nautical-mile limit , beyond which a no-go zone exists . As a result , more than 3,000 Palestinian fishermen are denied access to 85 % of the maritime areas agreed to in 1995 . The majority of the Dead Sea area is off-limits to Palestinian use , and Palestinians are denied access to its coast line .   Israel disengaged from the Gaza Strip in 2005 , however the international community considers the West Bank and the Gaza Strip still to be occupied by Israel . The Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2007 divided the Palestinian territories politically . Abbas 's Fatah largely ruled the West Bank and was recognized internationally as the official Palestinian Authority ( see : Fatah-Hamas conflict ) . In 2014 , the two political groups agreed to hold elections and form a compromise unity government . The 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict intervened ; however , the unity government survived .

neg: United Nations Security Council Resolution 838 United Nations Security Council resolution 838 , adopted unanimously on 10 June 1993 , after reaffirming Resolution 713 ( 1991 ) and all subsequent resolutions on the situation in the former Yugoslavia and in particular Bosnia and Herzegovina , the Council discussed options for the deployment of international observers on the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina to ensure implementation of previous Security Council resolutions .   The Council reiterated its demands in resolutions 752 ( 1992 ) and 819 ( 1993 ) which called for the end of foreign interference in Bosnia and Herzegovina and for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) cease supplying arms and military equipment to Bosnian Serb paramilitary units respectively . Violations of resolutions 757 ( 1992 ) , 787 ( 1992 ) and 820 ( 1993 ) were condemned which involved actions that took place between Serbia and Montenegro and the protected areas in Croatia and those areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the control of Bosnian Serbs . In this regard , the Council considered the possible deployment of observers around the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina as indicated in Resolution 787 ( 1992 ) .   The resolution also noted the decision of Serbia and Montenegro to prohibit all but humanitarian supplies to Bosnian Serb paramilitaries and the Council urged the country to implement the commitment . The Vance-Owen Peace Plan was recommended as a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the region .   The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to report back to the Security Council on options for the deployment of international observers to monitor the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina with priority for its border with Serbia and Montenegro . He was requested to contact Member States in order to ensure the availability of any material derived from aerial surveillance .

neg: House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina The House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Dom Naroda Bosne i Hercegovine / Дом Народа Босне и Херцеговине ) is one of the two chambers of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina , with the other chamber being the House of Representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina . It was established through the signing of the Dayton Agreement in 1995 .   It has 15 members equally distributed among the three ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina : 5 Bosniaks , 5 Serbs , and 5 Croats . The members are appointed by the parliaments of the constituent peoples . Their duty is to make sure that no law is passed unless all three groups agree on it .

neg: Sinai Interim Agreement The Sinai Interim Agreement , also known as the Sinai II Agreement , was a diplomatic agreement signed by Egypt and Israel on September 4 , 1975 . The signing ceremony took place in Geneva .   The agreement stated that the conflicts between the countries `` shall not be resolved by military force but by peaceful means . '' It also called `` for a further withdrawal in the Sinai and a new UN buffer zone . '' Thus , the agreement strengthened Israel 's and Egypt 's commitment to abiding by U.N. Resolution 338 and strengthened diplomatic relations between Egypt , Israel , and the United States .   The purpose of this agreement , in the eyes of the Egyptians , was to gain back as much of the Sinai Peninsula ( which had been occupied by Israel since 1967 ) as they could through diplomacy . Although the agreement strengthened Egypt 's relationship with the Western world , it diminished its relationships with other members of the Arab League ( especially Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization ) .

neg: United Nations Security Council Resolution 1015 United Nations Security Council resolution 1015 , adopted unanimously on 15 September 1995 , after reaffirming all resolutions on the situation in the former Yugoslavia , in particular resolutions 943 ( 1994 ) , 970 ( 1995 ) , 988 ( 1995 ) and 1003 ( 1995 ) , the Council noted measures by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) to continue the border closure with Bosnia and Herzegovina and therefore extended the partial suspension of sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro for an additional 180 days until 18 March 1996 .   It was noted that the border remained closed , except to humanitarian relief and the efforts of Serbia and Montenegro in this regard . There was greater co-operation between Serbia and Montenegro and the Mission of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia .   Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter , the international sanctions placed on Serbia and Montenegro were suspended until 18 March 1996 . Restrictions and arrangements in resolutions 943 and 988 would continue to apply . The situation would remain constantly under review by the Security Council .

neg: France France ( -LSB- fʁɑ̃s -RSB- ) , officially the French Republic ( -LSB- ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz -RSB- ) , is a country with territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories . The European , or metropolitan , area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea , and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean . Overseas France include French Guiana on the South American continent and several island territories in the Atlantic , Pacific and Indian oceans . France spans 643801 km2 and had a total population of almost 67 million people as of January 2017 . It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris , the country 's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre . Other major urban centres include Marseille , Lyon , Lille , Nice , Toulouse and Bordeaux .   During the Iron Age , what is now metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls , a Celtic people . The area was annexed in 51 BC by Rome , which held Gaul until 486 , when the Germanic Franks conquered the region and formed the Kingdom of France . France emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages , with its victory in the Hundred Years ' War ( 1337 to 1453 ) strengthening state-building and political centralisation . During the Renaissance , French culture flourished and a global colonial empire was established , which by the 20th century would be the second largest in the world . The 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants ( Huguenots ) . France became Europe 's dominant cultural , political , and military power under Louis XIV . In the late 18th century , the French Revolution overthrew the absolute monarchy , established one of modern history 's earliest republics , and saw the drafting of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen , which expresses the nation 's ideals to this day .   In the 19th century Napoleon took power and established the First French Empire , whose subsequent Napoleonic Wars shaped the course of continental Europe . Following the collapse of the Empire , France endured a tumultuous succession of governments culminating with the establishment of the French Third Republic in 1870 . France was a major participant in the First World War , from which it emerged victorious , and was one of the Allied Powers in the Second World War , but came under occupation by the Axis Powers in 1940 . Following liberation in 1944 , a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War . The Fifth Republic , led by Charles de Gaulle , was formed in 1958 and remains to this day . Algeria and nearly all the other colonies became independent in the 1960s and typically retained close economic and military connections with France .   France has long been a global centre of art , science , and philosophy . It hosts Europe 's fourth-largest number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites and receives around 83 million foreign tourists annually , the most of any country in the world . France is a developed country with the world 's sixth-largest economy by nominal GDP and ninth-largest by purchasing power parity . In terms of aggregate household wealth , it ranks fourth in the world . France performs well in international rankings of education , health care , life expectancy , and human development . France remains a great power in the world , being one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council with the power to veto and an official nuclear-weapon state . It is a leading member state of the European Union and the Eurozone . It is also a member of the Group of 7 , North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) , Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) , the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) , and La Francophonie .

The Security Council reiterated its concern at events that had taken place in the region since September 2000 and their deterioration , particularly terrorist attacks against civilians in Israel and at a Palestinian school in Hebron . It demanded the end of the occupation of the headquarters of the President of the Palestinian Authority Yasser Arafat . Furthermore , there was alarm at the reoccupation of Palestinian cities and restrictions on the freedom of movement of people and goods and the need for all to respect the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 .   The resolution reiterated the need for a complete cessation of all acts of violence , demanding that Israel end measures in and around Ramallah and to withdraw occupying forces from Palestinian cities to positions held before September 2000 . The Palestinian Authority was called upon to ensure that those responsible for the terrorist acts would be brought to justice . It also supported further diplomatic efforts by the Quartet on the Middle East and others in the region and recognised the initiative adopted at the Arab League Summit in Beirut which stated that peace between Israel and the Palestinians could be achieved through the abandonment of the right to return of Palestinian refugees in exchange for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders and the sharing of Jerusalem .   Resolution 1435 was adopted by 14 votes to none against and one abstention from the United States . American representatives John Negroponte and James Cunningham stated that the country would not support a `` one-sided resolution '' which did not explicitly condemn the terrorists or those who gave them safe haven .

neg: United Nations Year for Tolerance The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 1995 the United Nations Year for Tolerance with UNESCO as the lead organization . ( It had invited the Economic and Social Council to consider the matter in an earlier session . )   The idea and practice of tolerance was widely promoted in schools in many member states . Tolerance was held to be an ` endangered virtue ' in many parts of the world , particularly those who were under racial and religious wars , such as those in Bosnia and Rwanda . UNESCO said that five key planks were required to overcome intolerance : law , education , access to information , individual awareness and local solutions . Tolerance is thus a political , legal and moral duty to protect and preserve human rights .   The International Day for Tolerance is now celebrated on November 16 every year , in recognition of the Paris Declaration which was signed that day in 1995 by 185 member states .   In 1995 , a press conference was held at the United Nations by 12-year-old Mark Semotiuk who launched his book `` 401 Goofy Jokes for Kids '' which united kids from Ukraine , Canada and the United States , as one of the symbols for the United Nations Year for Tolerance .

In his review in Variety , Brian Lowry described Jones as `` utterly off-putting ... delivering yet another reminder that Oprah Winfrey 's skills are n't easily cloned . '' He referred to her `` scant facility for moderating but an unerring knack for uttering non sequiturs '' and added , `` It 's possible , of course , that Jones and her team will gradually revise the formula to better suit her limitations , but at this point , what she cloyingly refers to as `` the Star treatment '' is , in reality , strictly a third-class affair ... Jones appears poorly cast and will need a TV makeover to linger beyond Court 's name switch to TruTV in January . ''   The one-hour program aired weekdays at 3:00 pm ET/PT .

neg: The Jay Leno Show The Jay Leno Show is an American talk show created by and starring Jay Leno . Premiering on NBC on September 14 , 2009 , the program aired on weeknights at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT through February 9 , 2010 . The program was modeled upon the format of a late night talk show -- specifically , Jay Leno 's incarnation of The Tonight Show , opening with a comedic monologue , followed by interviews with celebrity guests and other comedy segments . Sketches from The Tonight Show ( including Headlines and Jaywalking ) were carried over to The Jay Leno Show , along with new sketches .   The program was the result of a compromise by NBC Universal 's then-CEO Jeff Zucker to keep Jay Leno with the company following his retirement from The Tonight Show and replacement with Conan O'Brien . The Jay Leno Show was also intended to provide NBC with an alternative to the high-cost scripted dramas aired by competing networks in its time slot ; the network believed that the lower cost of production , in combination with product placement deals , meant that the program did not necessarily have to be highly viewed in order to turn a profit . NBC hoped to attract Leno 's existing fans , as well as a larger primetime audience than that of his late-night program .   The Jay Leno Show was met with mixed reception from critics , who felt that the series had little differentiation from Leno 's Tonight Show . Others were critical of NBC 's decision to give up an hour of its weeknight lineup to Leno , due to the network 's past success with dramas airing in the time slot , while one NBC affiliate notably planned to not air the show at all , although this decision was retracted due to complaints by the network . Although viewership of The Jay Leno Show was initially on par with NBC 's projections , by November , the program 's ratings began to fall significantly . NBC 's affiliates complained that the declining viewership of The Jay Leno Show also had a ripple effect on the viewership of their late local newscasts . In an effort to address the concerns , NBC announced in January 2010 that it would , following the 2010 Winter Olympics , shorten The Jay Leno Show to a half-hour , and move it to 11:35 p.m -- the timeslot that had been occupied by The Tonight Show for nearly 60 years , and bump Tonight to 12:05 a.m.   NBC 's decision resulted in a major public conflict between the network and Conan O'Brien , who asserted that the move would damage the highly respected Tonight Show franchise , and that he would not participate in the program if it were moved to 12:05 . Despite much support for O'Brien from both the public and media professionals alike , NBC maintained its plan to move Leno to 11:35 . On January 21 , 2010 , NBC reached a $ 45 million settlement with O'Brien in order to end his contract . The Jay Leno Show ended on February 9 , 2010 , after being on the air for only four months , with Entertainment Weekly calling the program television 's `` Biggest Bomb of All Time . '' Leno resumed his duties as host of The Tonight Show on March 1 , 2010 , in a final stint that lasted until his February 2014 succession by Jimmy Fallon .

Thom Hartmann and Mark Thompson can still be heard on the channel , along with Stephanie Miller , Michelangelo Signorile and Ari Rabin Havt .   Political analyst Andy Ostroy has criticized Sirius Left and liberal talk radio in general in The Huffington Post . Ostroy disliked Sirius Left 's three in-house hosts Alex Bennett , Lynn Samuels , and Mark Thompson . Bennett was described as `` an ungracefully-aging hippie himself , -LSB- who -RSB- offers up more gratuitous profanity than intellectual political thought '' ; Samuels on `` any random listen could be whining about anything meaningless '' ; while Thompson , although `` a smart , passionate guy , has a program so mellow in tone that it can literally put you to sleep . His voice is so smooth and jazzy that he 'd be much better off cuing up a Miles Davis album . '' Ostroy said that Sirius Left should have more `` ass-kickers '' on the network , like Randi Rhodes and Stephanie Miller .

The series consists so far of eight novels , By Order of the President , The Hostage , The Hunters , The Shooters , Black Ops , The Outlaws , Covert Warriors , and Hazardous Duty . Like the rest of his novels , Griffin uses military time , along with the address of the place , and the chapter titles are never started on a separate page . The series is the author 's latest .   The main character , Carlos Guillermo Castillo , first appears as an Army major and is later promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel . Carlos is also known as Karl Wilhelm von und zu Gossinger . The reason for the double name stems from his parentage . His father , U.S. Army Warrant Officer Junior Grade Jorge Alejandro Castillo , had a one-night stand with his mother . His mother , Erika von und zu Gossinger , never saw Jorge again as he died shortly thereafter , flying `` his fifty-second rescue mission , picking up downed chopper crews , when he was hit and his Huey blew up . '' Jorge Castillo was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor . This allows Carlos to be admitted to West Point , which begins his Army career .   Erika raised Karl Wilhelm with the help of her father and brother , in das Haus im Wald ( the House in the Woods ) until they both died in an automobile accident on the Autobahn , leaving her to raise the boy alone . When Karl Wilhelm is the age of 12 his mother contracts fatal pancreatic cancer . She enlists the help of the then Major Naylor , who is stationed in Germany and was friends with her father , to find the boy 's father . Naylor does some research into the father and finds out that not only is he dead but he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor . He flies to San Antonio and shows Karl 's paternal grandmother , Doña Alicia Castillo a photograph of Karl . Upon seeing the photo she says that the boy has `` Jorge 's eyes '' and immediately goes to Germany . Doña Alicia says that she and her husband , Don Juan Fernando Castillo , will take care of Karl when Erika herself dies of cancer . Karl is 12 and an orphan , but he goes from one rich , but loving , home to another and will gain a cousin , Fernando Lopez , who will become like a brother to him .   Castillo , known to his friends as Charley , admits to being confused about who he is at times . There is good reason for this . Not only do his family members leave him a proud legacy of elite Texican/Germanic heritage , they also give him a grounding in English , Spanish , German , Russian , Hungarian and a couple of others . He is an Army aviator , holds credentials for the Secret Service and an Executive Assistant to the Secretary of Homeland Security . Because of his interesting background , Castillo comes to the attention of the President , who decides to use him as a single-source information funnel for intelligence matters , `` to serve as sort of a check on the investigations of the various agencies involved ... What I 'd like to know is what did they know and when did they know it ? ''   The series has become one of Griffin 's most popular .   Griffin 's son , William E. Butterworth , is listed on Griffin 's website as co-authoring `` The Outlaws '' , `` Covert Warriors '' , and `` Hazardous Duty '' .

neg: The Handmaid's Tale The Handmaid 's Tale is a 1985 dystopian novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood .

The Handmaid 's Tale won the 1985 Governor General 's Award and the first Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987 ; it was also nominated for the 1986 Nebula Award , the 1986 Booker Prize , and the 1987 Prometheus Award .

neg: Emmeline Emmeline , The Orphan of the Castle is the first novel written by English writer Charlotte Turner Smith ; it was published in 1788 . A Cinderella story in which the heroine stands outside the traditional economic structures of English society and ends up wealthy and happy , the novel is a fantasy . At the same time , it criticises the traditional marriage arrangements of the 18th century , which allowed women little choice and prioritised the needs of the family . Smith 's criticisms of marriage stemmed from her personal experience and several of the secondary characters are thinly veiled depictions of her family , a technique which both intrigued and repelled contemporary readers .   Emmeline comments on the 18th-century novel tradition , presenting reinterpretations of scenes from famous earlier works , such as Samuel Richardson 's Clarissa ( 1747 -- 48 ) . Moreover , the novel extends and develops the tradition of Gothic fiction . In combination with this , Smith 's style marks her as an early Romantic . Her characters learn about their identities from nature and her landscape descriptions are imbued with political messages about gender relations .   Smith had separated from her husband in 1787 and was forced to write to support herself and her children . She quickly began writing novels , which were profitable at the time . Emmeline was published a year later in 1788 ; the first edition sold out quickly . Smith 's novel was so successful that her publisher paid her more than he had initially promised . The novel was printed in the United States , translated into French , and issued several times during the 19th century .

Rowling , as the first book of that series , Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone was published in 1997 , three years after this book was published . ( They both mention a platform on Kings Cross Station , in London , that leads to a different world . ) As journalist Amanda Craig has written , `` Ibbotson would seem to have at least as good a case for claiming plagiarism as the American author currently suing J. K. Rowling , but unlike her , Ibbotson says she would ` like to shake her by the hand . I think we all borrow from each other as writers . ' ''

It was among the first novels published by Harlequin Enterprises 's Red Dress Ink imprint , an imprint created primarily to take advantage of the then-burgeoning `` chick lit '' phenomenon that included humorous books about young single women like Bridget Jones ' Diary .

neg: The Confidential Agent The Confidential Agent ( 1939 ) is a thriller novel by British author Graham Greene . Fueled by Benzedrine , Greene wrote it in six weeks .

He used that apartment in the novel ( it 's where D. hides for a day ) and had an affair with the landlady 's daughter .

But critics took a far different view ; The New York Times , for example , called the novel `` a magnificent tour-de-force . ''

neg: Agents and Patients Agents and Patients is the fourth novel by the English writer Anthony Powell . It combines two of the aspects of 1930s life , film and psychoanalysis . In what Powell himself has acknowledged is a roman a clef of sorts ( Anthony Powell , Journals 1987-1989 , 121 ) , a comically critical eye is cast across entre deux guerres society and its often self-indulgent , usually unsatisfied quest for contentment .   Published in 1936 , the novel reflects some of Powell 's recent experience scriptwriting for Warners in London . The epigraph from John Wesley which gives the novel its title distinguishes between actors and those acted upon , equating freedom with the condition of ` agency . ' Powell 's fourth novel illustrates the painstaking , sometimes painful , process by which one young man recognizes the truth of Wesley 's assertion in his own life , thereby , perhaps , reaching a change in his status as the novel ends .   As is usual in Powell 's fiction , the settings are often restaurants , parties , and private apartments ( though a Berlin film studio also figures significantly ) , with social behaviour in such surroundings the sustained focus of comically critical and detailed attention . Of Powell 's pre-war novels , Agents and Patients is most insistently focused on the questions of what one wants from life and how one might recognize moments when such desires have been achieved , even when the results are unexpected . The novel continues Powell 's evolution of the style and technique he will employ in A Dance to the Music of Time .

neg: Female artist's novel Female artist 's novel is a literary subtype of Kunstlerroman which can be defined as a literary procedure which deals with the main female protagonist 's growing to maturity and gaining experience and independence as an artist , namely a writer . Based on the major assumptions of Kunstlerroman , female artist 's novel works as a portrayal of a woman 's artistic struggle as she acquires artistic freedom and masters the artistic craft of being a writer and gaining literary dexterity . The scope of the genre is deeply rooted in the main assumptions of Kunstlerroman , where the growth of the character is displayed from one 's youth to adulthood and deals with one 's emotional and personal development on the way to artistic fulfillment .   As opposed to Kunstlerroman , female artist 's novel focuses only on a female writer , who besides being a capable artist and creator of her own reality , is often to perform many social roles simultaneously ( e.g. the role of a wife , a mother , home guardian , etc. ) to meet expectations the society imposes on her .   The genre itself is more gendered due to its focus on a female position .
