First Reactions Negative: The new Electoral Complaints Commission
Share
The presidential palace has announced the names of the five members of the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission (IECC), the body which will deal with any complaints about the April 2014 presidential election. It will also, along with the Independent Election Commission (IEC), rule whether the ballot was free and fair.

This mafia-style "kneecapping" was the culmination of several days of arrests and protests in the Palestinian Authority (PA) which followed the distribution of a leaflet accusing PA Ra'is Yasir Arafat of corruption.
The crackdown on the twenty signatories of the leaflet highlights the authoritarian, dark side of the PA--an aspect of Palestinian politics generally relegated to second-tier status in the Oslo/Wye/Sharm diplomacy of recent years. Although it is likely that this incident, like many previous ones, will fade into the background once the spotlights revert to the impending "final status" negotiations, it provides a useful context to reexamine U.S. policy toward the issue of Palestinian democracy and the development of the Palestinian state-in-the-making.
Background. On November 28, two former mayors, nine academics, and nine members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) signed a petition decrying the PA, which it said had "followed a systematic methodology of corruption, humiliation, and abuse." Clearly frustrated, the leaflet
