 Canadian Human Rights Lawyer Jacques Gauthier: Recognition of Palestinian state now would be the greatest denial of justice in history of mankind (ECI)
Brussels, May 15th, 2025 – Addressing Members of the European Parliament on the eve of the Israeli Independence Day on Tuesday, 13th May, Canadian human rights lawyer Dr. Jacques Gauthier called the current campaign to ask for a recognition of a Palestinian state “the greatest denial of justice in the history of mankind.” In his lecture on “The question of Jerusalem in international law” he spelled out how the Jewish people were given title deed to Jerusalem as well as to Judea and Samaria at the International Peace Conference in San Remo on April 25, 1920, by the Supreme Council of the Principal Allied Powers. These rights were later confirmed by the Treaty of Sèvres in August 1920 and Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. The Council of the League of Nations unanimously approved the Mandate for Palestine on July 24, 1922.
Commenting on the current campaign led by French president Emmanuel Macron to recognise a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN conference on the two state solution in New York on 2-4 June, Gauthier refuted the comparison between Russian occupation of Crimea and Israel’s “occupation” of Judea and Samaria by saying that “you cannot occupy what already belongs to you”. Israel has title deed to these territories through decisions made in San Remo by the Supreme Council of the Principal Allied Powers and later confirmed by the Council of the League of Nations in 1922. It is only Israel who can relinquish these rights; they cannot be taken away by anyone.
