Email your candidate to commit for British recognition of Palestine NOW

Britain must recognise Palestine. It is a step towards upholding the Palestinian right of self-determination – a fundamental right under international law. Most UN member states have already recognised Palestine. Recognition cannot be dependent on negotiations, as the British Government has suggested, and it has waited too long for ‘the right time’.

 

The position of our two main political parties is to link recognition to a peace process which today does not exist. British government recognition of Palestine should be the prelude to negotiations, and not depend on them.
