PA mediaSome of the most reputed lawyers of Britain have warned the government that recognizing the state of Palestinian will violate international law.
The Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper announced that Britain would be recognized until Israel fulfills certain conditions, including consenting a ceasefire and reviving the possibility of a two-state solution on Tuesday.
A day later, Canada announced that it would move towards recognition at the United Nations Summit in September, where 147 out of 193 member states of the United Nations already formally recognize a Palestinian kingdom.
However, opponents argue that Palestine does not meet legal requirements for the state under international law as significant criteria have not been met.
The Montevidio Convention has set the criteria as a defined region for the recognition of a state under international law, an effective population, and the ability to enter relations with other states.
A group of 43 colleagues, including some of the most iconic lawyers in Britain, have determined their confidence that Sir Kir may be in violation of international law as the region cannot meet these criteria for the state.
Government’s Attorney General, Lord Hermer in a letter, first Reported by Times, He asks him to advise the Prime Minister against recognition.
“It is clear that there is no certainty on the boundaries of Palestine,” they argue, and also “there is no working single government, Fatah and Hamas are enemies”.
“The letter has failed to hold elections for the past decades, and there is a latter terrorist organization, which no one can enter relations with other states.”
The colleagues have warned that it would “be foolish to depart from the convention, signed in 1933,” at a time when international law is seen as delicate “.
He says: “You have said that a selective, ‘pick and mix’ approach to international law will lead to its disintegration, and that the norms set in international law should not be manipulated for the reasons for the political campaign.
“Accordingly, we hope that you will explain to the public and the government and show the commitment that Palestine’s recognition will be contrary to the principles that control the recognition of the states in international law.”
Lord Hermer has earlier stressed that a commitment to the international law of the government’s approach to foreign policy becomes “fully for the heart”.
The BBC has received a complete list of signators, which includes the major barrister Lord Panik – who represented the previous government in the Supreme Court on his Rwanda Yojana.
Also, lawyers, some of the major Jewish voices of Parliament, including crossbench Peer Baronic Deach, Lord Winston of Labor and Conservatives Barona Altman have also put their names in a letter.
A British-Israel women condemn the announcement of Sir Kir by Emily Damery, a British-Israel, who was taken captive by Hamas for more than a year, who said Sir Keir “not standing on the right of history”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also claimed to “reward the demonic terrorism of Hamas”.
Due to apprehension about the decision to recognize a Palestinian kingdom, the 1933 Montevidio convention was not aligned, Business Minister Gareth Thomas told Times Radio: “We have not signed the Montevidio Convention, but is there a clear population in Palestine? Yes, Gaza and West Bank.
“We have clarified that we think you will recognize the position of Palestine, and that the Palestine position will be based on the 1967 borders.
“Of course, there should be land swaps and will be a common capital of Jerusalem. They consider international ideas well.”
Thomas stressed that the UK government “clarified that there is a need to improve the Palestinian Authority, that Gaza and Palestine may have no role in the future government of the future”.
Pointing to 147 other countries, who already recognized a Palestinian kingdom, he said that the Prime Minister was “interacting with a series of countries including Canada and Canada this week, as you have seen, it was decided to identify Palestine in September”.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that his country is planning to recognize a Palestinian kingdom as part of a two-state solution-that is to live with Israel and Palestine.
Carney said that his decision was inspired by “devastation” in Gaza, and because he feared that the possibility of a Palestinian kingdom was “repetition before our eyes”.
Palestinian Authority – which runs parts of the occupied West Bank – must be committed to “very necessary improvement”, and Hamas, who controls Gaza, “no part can play”.
Britain has said that it would also recognize a Palestinian kingdom in September until Israel was committed to a ceasefire.
Sir Kir has stated that the UK would only avoid recognition that Israel allows more help in Gaza, stops land in the West Bank, agrees to a ceasefire, and signs for a long -term peace process over the next two months.
He also said that Hamas would have to release all the remaining Israeli hostages immediately, sign up for a ceasefire, cancel and “Accept that they will not play any role in Gaza’s government”.
