Canada Opposes 15 Palestinian Attempts to Join UN Treaties
(Canadian Press) Mike Blanchfield - Canada has formally objected in writing to Palestinian attempts to join 15 UN treaties and conventions. Canada says, "'Palestine' does not meet the criteria of a state under international law and is not recognized by Canada as a state." Canada considers any declarations "made by the 'State of Palestine' to be without any legal validity or effect." Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Francois Lasalle added, "This provocative Palestinian attempt to politicize international organizations will not contribute to peace in the region."
