Workshop
Details
Almost 40 persons from the different Palestinian parties and factions, and representatives of the Palestinian civil society organizations attended the conference.
Dr. Kamal Shrafi, member of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), presented the draft of the Political Parties Law to the audience and stressed the necessity to have a law to organize the political work in the Palestinian Territories. Mr. Mohammad Abu Ameera introduced the experience of the Election Central Commission (ECC) in running the PLC elections in 1996 and the presidential election in January 2005 in the absence of this important law.
The participants were divided in their viewpoints; part of them supported the Law, while others argued that the time is not appropriate to introduce such a law, saying this is part of the Palestinian National Council duties and not of the PLC.
