Fuck the UN.If Canada invaded Illinois and took possession of it the US would have a choice, give up the land or fight for it back. If they choose to give up the land, Like the Lebanese and Egyptians did then it belongs to the victor and so do all it's inhabitants.This may be 1999 but the legal concepts are a hundred years old. They are attempting to define and refine old principles. So don't try to imply that these are new ideas.P F Tinmore, et al,
(COMMENT)
You will notice that the first word in the title is "DRAFT." This DRAFT is over a decade old --- very old and unlikely to achieve adoption any time in the near future. It has no veracity or standing in this issue. It is simply one of many law concepts that was suggested and not accepted. But more importantly, even if this was a law ---- made law in 1999, a decade after the State of Palestine Independence; 3 decades after the Six-Day War; a half century after the Israeli War of Independence and the adoption of the Partition Plan; and 8 decades after the Allied Powers at San Remo decided to reconstitute the Jewish National Home. (It is still not law; because the DRAFT doesn't adequately reflect how it works in the real-world; at least not yet.)

In international law, when a state is dissolved and new states are established, “the population follows the change of sovereignty in matters of nationality.”5 As a rule, therefore, citizens of the former state should automatically acquire the nationality of the successor state in which they had already been residing.
Nationality constitutes a legal bond that connects individuals with a specific territory, making them citizens of that territory.
Drawing up the framework of nationality, Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne stated:
“Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty is detached from Turkey will become ipso facto, in the conditions laid down by the local law, nationals of the State to which such territory is transferred.”
The Palestinians are stateless due to politics not law. Or, I would say, due to the violation of law.
What violation of law was that? Resisting colonization? Is there a law to that effect?
What Lebanese and Egyptians. They had nothing to do with it.
By the way your contention runs counter to the Charter of the United Nations.
2. I believe the golan heights or whatever used to belong to Egypt before they gave it up and the west bank used to belong to Lebanon before they also gave up the land.
Sly, we're on the same side but you gotta get your facts straight. It was Gaza that used to belong to Egypt, and Jordan that had control of the West Bank. But you're right that both Egypt and Jordan renounced their rights to those territories.
