In general service providing systems, user
authentication is required for different purposes such as
billing, restricting unauthorized access, etc. A good solution is
to use pseudonyms as temporary identities. On the other hand,
it may also be required to have a backdoor in pseudonym
systems for identity revealing that can be used by law
enforcement agencies for legal reasons. Such pseudonym
providing systems rely on one or more trusted third parties.
The threat models of the existing schemes do not assume
existence of collusion among these trusted parties; however,
collusion among them can severely breach privacy such that
pseudonyms can be linked to real identities in an unauthorized
way. In this paper, we propose a novel pseudonym providing
and management system. Our system is privacy-preserving
and guarantees a level of anonymity for a particular number of
system users. Besides, trust is distributed among all system
entities instead of centralizing it into a single trusted third
party. More importantly, our system is highly resistant to
collusions among the trusted entities. Our system also has the
ability to reveal user identity in case of a request by law
enforcement. To maximize the privacy of the users, our design
requires the collaboration among all trusted entities for
identity revealing. We perform analytical and simulation based
performance evaluation in order to analyze the anonymity
level and resistance against collusion attacks. Our results show
that CoRPPS provides high level of anonymity with strong
resistance against collusion attacks

Section I of this publication explores the borders of the State of Palestine with Jordan and Egypt as were drawn and legally recognized and settled before May 1948. Section II then demonstrates that the borders that have been demarked between Palestine and Israel after 1948 and the process by which such demarcation has acquired de jure status. Section III deals with the reaffirmation of the territorial scope of Palestine, as recently manifested by State practice reflecting customary international law, over which the ICC possesses the power to adjudicate. The conclusion introduces the findings and request to the Court.
This publication, titled "BORDERS OF THE STATE OF PALESTINE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR THE PURPOSE OF ICC TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION", took the form of "Amicus Curiae" observations submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague regarding Situation in the State of Palestine on 15 March 2020. The author submitted these observations on behalf of the Palestinian Bar Association (PBA) based on an official power of attorney assigned to me by the PBA President pursuant to ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber I Decision No. ICC-01/18-63 of 20 February 2020 that granted the PBA, among others, leave to file observations pertaining to ICC Prosecutor’s Request No. ICC-01/18-12 of 22 January 2020 to open investigation in Palestine. Full text of this 30-page publication (No. ICC-01/18-72) is available at the ICC website, as one of the Court's registered official documents.

United Nations General Assembly Resolution 67/19 of 29 November 2012, which overwhelmingly voted for the admission of Palestine as an observer State (138 States in favor vs. 9 States), might be similar to the hundreds of previous United Nations resolutions if the new move is not followed by a series of measures that should be undertaken in the coming few months by the Palestinians themselves. This note is largely based on a book, entitled ‘Membership of Palestine in the United Nations: Legal and Political Implications,’ that would be published by Cambridge Scolders Publishing in early 2013 (M. Qafisheh, ed., approx. 450 pages).This note addresses selected measures at the international and local levels, which will enhance access to justice for Palestinian victims of international law violations and further Palestine’s compliance with its international law obligations. It also sheds light on the domestic measures that Palestine should take to strengthen its status as a State.

The notion of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and healthcare Information Technologies (HITs) have recently been adopted by many countries. EHRs facilitate sharing of patients' data among healthcare providers, improve patient safety, and reduce healthcare delivery costs. However, many healthcare providers are unable to use EHRs and related HITs, as they lake the competencies and skills necessary to use them. To overcome this gap, many initiatives have proposed, in different countries, on one hand to train healthcare providers to effectively use EHRs and on another to integrate the required EHR competencies and skills with undergraduate curricula. HiCure is a European Erasmus+ project that aims to develop competency-based health informatics pathways that can be integrated within undergraduate curricula of IT and healthcare programs. This paper presents a case study-based approach, developed in HiCure, to instill the required skills for more applied effective understanding and use of EHRs in undergraduate multidisciplinary education. It utilises real-life EHR notion and its corresponding HITs, exposes students to real-life situations, for more effective comprehension of related uses, issues, intricacies and challenges for improved educational learning outcomes.
