the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International
Affairs, is an Arab, non-profit Palestinian institution, with
a financially and legally independent status. It is not affiliated

endeavors that research undertaken under its auspices be specialized,
scientific and objective and that its symposia and workshops,
whether international or intra-Palestinian, be open, self-critical
and conducted in a spirit of harmony and cooperation.
