 It took Palestinian NGO's more than ten years of 'discussions and familiarization' to dispel misconceptions, overcome suspicions, and stew a code of conduct palatable enough to all of them to be viewed as a strength and not as a threat.

23-24 June 2008Palestine experience in reaching consensus over a code of conduct was highlighted as a model to be adapted and used by other countries.
