The Oslo II Accord divided the West Bank into three administrative divisions: the Areas A, B and C. The distinct areas were given a different status, according to the amount of self-government the local Palestinians would have over it through the Palestinian Authority, until a final status accord would be established. The Areas A and B were chosen in such a way as to just contain Palestinians, by drawing lines around Palestinian population centers at the time the Agreement was signed; all areas surrounding the Areas A and B were defined as Area C.〔(''What is Area C?'' ). B'Tselem, 9 October 2013〕 Area A comprises approximately 18% of the West Bank and Area B about 22%, together home to some 2,8 million Palestinians. As of 2013, some 300,000 Palestinians lived in Area C, scattered over 532 residential locations.〔(''UN: 300,000 Palestinians live in Area C of the West Bank'' ). Jerusalem Post, 6 March 2014〕〔(''AREA C Vulnerability Profile'' ). UN OCHA Fact sheet, 5 March 2013〕 An estimated 350,000 Jewish settlers live in Area C in 135 Israeli settlements and some 100 outposts.〔〔 Area C is completely territorial contiguous. In contrast, the Areas A and B were subdivided into 165 separate units of land that have no territorial contiguity.〔 ==Divisions== The Oslo II Accord stipulated that "during the first phase of redeployment" the jurisdiction over the Areas A and B would be transferred to the Palestinian Council. Article XI.2.a reads: "Land in populated areas (Areas A and B), including government and Al Waqf land, will come under the jurisdiction of the Council during the first phase of redeployment." The populated areas were defined by delineations on a map attached to the document. Area C comprised the areas of the West Bank outside Areas A and B.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Bank Areas in the Oslo II Accord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
