A Cry for Justice - Dries van Agt

In the book, Van Agt describes the history and the then-current situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He specifically focuses on the plight of the Palestinians. The book is a fervent and critical argument in which he pleads that the international community, including the Netherlands and the European Union, turns a blind eye to the violations of international law and human rights in the Palestinian territories.

The symbolic cover of the book — an olive tree (the symbol for Palestinian culture and connection to the land) with the concrete Israeli West Bank barrier (the wall) behind it — directly reflects the core of his argument.
