occupied Palestinian territory: The Monthly Humanitarian Monitor, December 2011 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:36:38 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: occupied Palestinian territory December overview In 2011, the humanitarian situation continued to be affected by a lack of respect for international humanitarian and human rights law, also contributing to a crisis of human dignity. In the West Bank, Israeli settlement activity accelerated in 2011, with an almost 20 percent increase in new ?building starts? for housing units (excluding East Jerusalem), compared to 2010. This came along a range of governmental and legislative initiatives aimed at ?legitimizing? unauthorized settlement outposts, many of which are built on private Palestinian land. Israeli settlement policies are not only illegal under international law but are also the root cause of much of the humanitarian vulnerability of Palestinians. |

Myanmar: Conflict and Political Violence Intensity in Myanmar (as of 17 Jan 2011) Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:16:03 +0000 Armed clashes between ethnic minority armed groups and the government continue to occur in the border regions to China and Thailand, with both insurgent groups and government troops also targeting civilians. Maplecroft?s in-depth Country Risk Report on Myanmar highlights how the government?s recent democratic opening has also involved intense efforts to bring security to the country by launching a new round of peace talks with armed groups. As of January 2012, all major insurgent groups have negotiated cease-fires with the government and incidents of political violence are significantly fewer although risks to companies? assets and personnel are likely to persist in the medium-term. Success in this area is a major step on the road towards the West lifting sanctions on Myanmar and will accelerate opening new lines of investment in this country.
