ICJ opinion: UK should recognise the independent state of Palestine
23 Jul 2024
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to today’s advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs spokesperson Layla Moran MP said:
"This decision is a wake-up call. Liberal Democrats have always championed international law and the independence of the courts.
“The only way to give Palestinians and Israelis the security and dignity they deserve is through a peace process and a two-state solution.
“The UK should lead that push by immediately recognising the independent state of Palestine.”
