| | "International Recognition of a Unilaterally Declared Palestinian State: Legal and Policy Dilemmas" by Tal Becker |
| | In conclusion, a unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood, which is not coordinated with Israel, constitutes a fundamental violation of repeated and legally binding undertakings to resolve outstanding issues by negotiation and to refrain from unilateral acts. | | | In an effort to overcome the legal problems which undermine their claim, Palestinian representatives have argued that a unilateral declaration of statehood is not an unlawful act despite the existence of repeated undertakings not to alter the legal status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip pending the outcome of permanent status negotiations. | | | Similarly, the unilateral declaration of statehood by the Turkish minority of Northern Cyprus has been rejected by the international community in part on the basis that it exceeds the rights afforded to this community by the self-determination principle. |
