| - The Mitchell Report is a document that was created by an American fact-finding committee, led by former US Senator George J. Mitchell, on the state of the Arab-Israeli conflict, during the first stages of the al-Aqsa Intifada. It was published on April 30, 2001, and is also known as the "Sharm El-Sheikh Fact-Finding Committee Report". In order to get the Israeli-Palestinian peace process back on track after the failure of the Camp David 2000 Summit, "the committee called for action in three phases: 1) an immediate cessation of all violence, 2) rebuilding confidence by a full-scale effort by the Palestinian Authority to prevent Terrorism, the freezing of Israeli settlement activity, ... and other confidence-building measures, and 3)resumption of negotiations. Although the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority accepted the report's conclusions, with some reservations, they failed to implement the findings." Although this report became the basis of the Road map for peace, the long-term effects were negligible, as events overtook the peace process. However, interest in its recommendations was renewed as George Mitchell was named special envoy for the Middle East on January 22, 2009.
