Israeli legislation on settlements violates international law
Israeli legislation on settlements violates international law
New York - Arab Today
Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, has regretted the adoption by Israel’s legislative body, the Knesset, of the so called "Regularisation Bill," saying that the measure contravenes international law and will have "far-reaching legal consequences" for the country.
A statement from the UN spokesperson noted that the Bill, adopted yesterday, reportedly provides immunity for settlements and outposts in the occupied West Bank that were built on privately-owned Palestinian land.
"The Secretary-General insists on the need to avoid any actions that would derail the two-state solution," the statement said, adding that all core issues should be resolved between the parties through direct negotiations on the basis of relevant Security Council Resolutions and mutual agreements.
"The United Nations stands ready to support this process," it concluded.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
