  • Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
    Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.

Deputy Bernard J. Durkan, Deputy John Halligan, Deputy Dara Murphy, Deputy Joe O’Reilly, DEPUTY DOMINIC HANNIGAN IN THE CHAIR. 1 VOTING RIGHTS OF EU CITIZENS: DISCUSSION (RESUMED) Voting Rights of EU Citizens: Discussion (Resumed) Chairman: I remind those present to turn off their mobile phones. It is not sufficient to leave them in silent mode. They need to be switched off, as otherwise they will interfere with the broadcasting equipment, which means that we will not be able to broadcast the proceedings. Members will be aware that the European Commission recently published a communica- tion on the voting rights of EU citizens living abroad and the impact of procedures in various countries in that regard. The Commission has criticised Ireland for not providing voting rights for its citizens living in other member states. With Ireland, Denmark, Cyprus, Malta and the United Kingdom have also been cited for disenfranchising voters who have exercised their right to free movement within the European Union. At this meeting, one of a series of meetings, we will hear the distinct perspectives on the non-Government side of the House. Fianna Fáil has nominated Deputy Timmy Dooley who is no stranger to the committee to present its views. Sinn Féin will be represented by Ms Lynn Boylan who is a member of its Ard Chomhairle, while an Independent’s view will be presented by Deputy John Halligan.
