Luxembourg’s gets invaded, it’s probably gonna call France
except it's not legally bound to call France
like "palestine" is
But that wouldn’t inherently not make it a nation though
I don't have to disqualify it to be a nation
you have to qualify it as one
and according to that dude's definition
it's not doing well
That dude isn’t 100% right
sounds like he's close to being 100% wrong then
if palestine wants to be a soveirgn nation
it needs to negotiate with Israel
They make laws for their area and have international recognition from a majority of the world
that's not how it works.
when going by individual recognition
it's a state only within the context of its relationship with that country
if it wants to be a soveirgn state
it needs to be voted in like Israel
and have control over its borders
and it'll only get that
The UN says that they don’t have the authority to recognize a state or government
they had no issue when it came to Israel
or any other mid eastern state created at that time
if the legal opinion has since changed
then it now goes by individual bilateral basis
Being voted in has nothing to do with being a state itself. The UN is independent of the existence of states
in which case, it's only a soveirgn nation
once Israel recognizes it
which brings it back to the original conclusion
that it needs to negotiate with Israel
your guys' argument is that the UN has no role here
and that Israel should recognize it because some other country does
which is a new principle
I can as easily argue that those nations shouldn't recognize Palestine because Israel doesn't
Palestine is a state if we use the definition of wikipedia, which I would agree with
"In international law, a sovereign state (or sovereign country) is a nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area. International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, one government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.[1] It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state.[2]"
it doesn't fit any of it
` juridical entity` - can Abbas try Gazan war criminals?
`that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area.` - When was the last time Abbas has called off Gazan missiles ?
`as having a permanent population` - this isn't true according even the Palestinians, with them claiming ever growing nth generation refugees
