M-138 Palestine
42nd Parliament, 1st Session
Motion Text
That the House recognize that: (a) the Palestinian Territories continue to be occupied; (b) this occupation contravenes resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 2334 (2016) of the United Nations Security Council and threatens the viability of a “two-state solution” based on the 1967 borders; (c) a democratic Palestinian State that lives in peace with its neighbour Israel should have followed from the 1993 Oslo accords, based on a people’s inalienable right to self-determination; (d) the State of Palestine is recognized by 136 out of 193 United Nations member states, including Sweden, Portugal and Iceland; (e) under its foreign policy, Canada “recognizes the Palestinian right to self-determination and supports the creation of a sovereign, independent, viable, democratic and territorially contiguous Palestinian state, as part of a comprehensive, just and lasting peace settlement”; and that, in its opinion, the government should recognize Palestine as an independent State.
