Palestine, United Nations, identity, General Assembly of the UNAbstract
Hundreds of press articles on the issue of Palestinian identity have been written in the last two years. It happened due to granting Palestine on November 29, 2012 a non-member observer state status by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Resolution 67/19 of the UN assembly, contrary to appearances, does not answer explicitly the question concerning the Palestinian identity. In my paper I will try to display the whole spectrum of legal nuances referring to this issue.
