Economic and Social Developments in Western Asia for 2005-2006 |
UN-ESCWA has published the “Survey of Economic and Social Developments in Western Asia, 2005-2006”. The annual publication outlines a set of economic policy principles aimed at contributing to the design of development strategies in the region. The principles are employment-intensive, pro-poor and based on human rights. The Survey was completed before the conflict in Lebanon of July-August 2006.

Palestine Day in Beirut |
“Wherever they may be, Palestinians have suffered from the discriminatory policies pursued by successive Israeli Governments.
