About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Palestine's admission as a member of UNESCO on 31 October 2011 is illegal - since the two-thirds majority of members required to admit Palestine under articles II(2) and II (3) of UNESCO'S Constitution is 129 - not the 107 member States that actually voted for Palestine's admission.

The decision will cost UNESCO over $100 million per annum in funding and seriously affect UNESCO's ongoing programs for the universal benefit of humankind.

UNESCO has failed to rebut this claim or accede to my request that it urgently obtain an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice

Review Palestine's admission as a member of UNESCO

Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: UNESCO.

Review Palestine's admission as a member of UNESCO

Palestine's admission as a member of UNESCO is illegal since the necessary majority of members required to admit Palestine under articles II(2) and II (3) is 129 - not the 107 member States that actually voted for Palestine's admission.

The decision will cost UNESCO over $100 million per annum in funding and seriously affect UNESCO's ongoing programs for the universal benefit of humankind.

UNESCO must review its decision or seek an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice to legally validate its admission of Palestine.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
