The Problem of Recognition of Palestine in the context of the Palestinian People’s Realization of the Right to Self-Determination

The paper examines the problem of recognition of Palestine in modern international law. International documents and United Nations resolutions adopted on the issue of the conflict in Palestine are analyzed. The author, based on an analysis of international documents, concludes that Palestine meets all the criteria for statehood, but the Israeli occupation prevents the creation of a viable Palestinian state. Despite various efforts being made to reach a solution to the Palestinian issue, the peace process has reached a deadlock. This is facilitated by the policy and practice of the occupying power to consolidate the de facto position of the occupied territories in violation of its legal obligations. To date, Palestine is recognized by more than 138 states and the UN General Assembly has repeatedly confirmed the right to self-determination through resolutions. The efforts of the international community must be intensified to put an end to this irreconcilable conflict, which poses a threat to international peace and security.
