Sir Joseph Hotung and his Project is all about this very local issue of concern to many of the unemployed - Law, Human Rights and Peace Building in the Middle East Recent Publications: Palestinian Statehood and Collective Recognition by the United Nations This briefing paper discusses the main legal issues relevant to the recognition of Palestine as a State. In September this year (2011), Palestine is widely expected to request the General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a resolution recognising that it is now a State. There has also been speculation that it may submit an application to be admitted as a member of the United Nations. Examination of commentaries on the issue of Palestinian recognition however reveals confusion. This is perhaps understandable given the degree of overlap and interplay between the issues of the recognition of Statehood; that of “collective recognition” in a UNGA resolution; and that of admission as a member State of the United Nations. This paper seeks to elucidate the principal legal issues relevant to each of these three distinct, yet related, questions, and then apply them to the situation of Palestine. Palestinian Statehood and Collective Recognition by the UN - Draft (pdf; 297kb) Palestinian Statehood and Collective Recognition by the UN - Summary (pdf; 57kb) See also: Yale Journal of International Affairs online column article Recognizing Palestinian Statehood The Israel-Palestine conflict in international law: territorial issues with an introduction by Henry Siegman The status of the territories Israel occupied as a result of the Six-Day War in 1967 has been described as “disputed” or as territories under Israeli administration. Further, it has been claimed that, by virtue of the Mandate for Palestine, Israel is entitled to claim all the territory which was subject to the Mandate east of the River Jordan because this was the area reserved for “close settlement” in order that a Jewish national home could be established. Alternatively, some have claimed that, because the Arab population of Mandate Palestine rejected the United Nations’ Partition Plan embodied in General Assembly resolution 181 of 29 November 1947, it forfeited any entitlement it had to claim any of the territory of the former Mandate. This paper addresses these and other arguments from the standpoint of international law, emphasising the primordial importance of the legal doctrine of self-determination—both as an integral component of the Mandate and in its current manifestation—in determining the proper destination of the territory of Mandate Palestine. The Sir Joseph Hotung Programme for Law, Human Rights and Peace Building in the Middle East works to highlight and promote the use of international law and human rights in respect to the engagement of all parties, including third States, to Israeli-Palestinian relations. The goal is to generate policy-oriented scholarship that will support the development of practical strategies for a just and lasting peace in the region. The research programme on Law, human rights and peace building in the Middle East is sponsored by Sir Joseph Hotung and administered by SOAS . So there you go. What has your CONSTITUENCY to do with Palestine or Israel? Who do you work for again ? You should read some her questions too - To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what human rights training UK Trade and Industry officials receive prior to posting. Written Answers — International Development: Mining (22 March 2012) Lisa Nandy: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development (1) what his policy is on support for projects that involve open pit coal mining; (2) whether his Department has recently made an assessment of the potential effect of open pit mining in Bangladesh on (a) the environment and (b) human rights. Ehh bah gum lass, they're doin great, soon well be paying the poor immigrants to work in their own countries, now, you were saying about the employment opportunities created for the poor, unemployed oppressed Wiganers and what your doing about it, what about THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS ?. Nothing about getting work for the unemployed in Wigan then .
