P F Tinmore, et al,
Again, I think you are twisting the facts and misleading people.
The link you use is a valid link, to a UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/37/43 3 December 1982. BUT, having said that, the Resolution A/RES/37/43 is NOT enforceable law and come six years before the PLO declares independence for Palestine.
• The Arab Palestinians were NEVER denied their right of self-determination.
∆ The Hostile Arab Palestinians exercised their right of self-determination when:
•∆• When they declined at least three times to participate in Article 22 Tutoring and Participation in governing process before 1923.
•∆• When they declined to participate in the processes under the set-up established by the Partition Plan.
•∆• When they elected representatives to participate in the Jordanian Parliament and voted to be Annexed into the Hashemite Kingdom.
•∆• When they declared independence in 1988 as the State of Palestine.
• The Arab Palestinian constantly bring-up this UN GA/RES/37/43 Resolution as if it gives some sort of direction. The fact is, anything can be "REAFFIRMED." I can reaffirm that the sky is blue. It does not mean that the sky was denied blue as a color, it is a statement of fact. It so happens that the Citizens of the United States have the right to self-determination, just as the people called Palestinians have the right to self-determination. It is NOT a revelation or an epiphany. Some rights, as the Hostile Arab Palestinians have demonstrated, are regenerative and reusable (that is the meaning of "inalienable"). BUT, in our discussion here, it has no impact.
• Finally, GA/RES/37/43 deals specifically with The United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories. (And I would appreciate it if you would not attempt to challenge the integrity of the list as being "not all inclusive.)
Committee of 24 (Special Committee on Decolonization)
The Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence of Colonial Countries and Peoples (also known as the Special Committee on decolonization or C-24), the United Nations entity exclusively devoted to the issue of decolonization, was established in 1961 by the General Assembly with the purpose of monitoring the implementation of the Declaration (General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960).
The Special Committee annually reviews the list of Territories to which the Declaration is applicable and makes recommendations as to its implementation. It also hears statements from NSGTs representatives, dispatches visiting missions, and organizes seminars on the political, social and economic situation in the Territories. Further, the Special Committee annually makes recommendations concerning the dissemination of information to mobilize public opinion in support of the decolonization process, and observes the Week of Solidarity with the Peoples of Non-Self-Governing Territories.
Nothing in the territories, formerly under the Mandate for Palestine, are considered Non-Self-Governing Territories (NSGTs). They are not now, nor have they ever been, subject to colonial criteria as associated with UN GA/RES/37/43 or UN GA/RES/1514(XV).

(COMMENT)P F Tinmore, et al,
This is too funny.
(COMMENT)advanced on into the territory formerly under the Mandate.
The place was Palestine. Why do you use Israel's propaganda term?
Notice that they did not say advanced into Israeli territory.
BTW, why do the propagandists say that they attacked Israel?
The language used, and grammatically correct variation, come from the definition in the first "Palestine Order in Council of 1922" (not Israeli Propaganda).
By treaty, the authority to define the Mandate was stipulated as: "within such boundaries as may be determined by the Principal Allied Powers." It was neither a territory defined by the Arab People or the Jewish People. So it cannot be attributed to either.
PART I.
PRELIMINARY.
1. This Order may be cited as "The Palestine Order in Council, 1922."
The limits of this Order are the territories to which the Mandate for Palestine applies, hereinafter described as Palestine.
The phrase "territories to which the Mandate for Palestine applies" was valid up to 15 May 1948 when the Mandate Terminated. Thereafter, it was "the territory formerly under the Mandate" or some proper variation thereof; or associated as a new Trusteeship. The language depends on whether you are looking backwards or forwards.
One of the simplest explanations of the system, that I've seen, actually came from "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: League of Nations Mandate; "The mandate system was established under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, entered into on 28 June 1919. With the dissolution of the League of Nations after World War II, it was stipulated at the Yalta Conference that the remaining Mandates should be placed under the trusteeship of the United Nations, subject to future discussions and formal agreements. Most of the remaining mandates of the League of Nations (with the exception of South-West Africa) thus eventually became United Nations Trust Territories." This, in effect, was the backbone behind Chapter XII of the UN Charter --- a decision made by the Heads of State from the Major Allied Powers.
Generalities
All of the territories subject to League of Nations mandates were previously controlled by states defeated in World War I, principally Imperial Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The mandates were fundamentally different from the protectorates in that the Mandatory power undertook obligations to the inhabitants of the territory and to the League of Nations.
The process of establishing the mandates consisted of two phases:
- The formal removal of sovereignty of the state previously controlling the territory.
- The transfer of mandatory powers to individual states among the Allied Powers.
Theoretically, it could also be described as the territory formerly under the control of the Enemy Occupied Territory Administration; OR, former territory of the Ottoman Empire.
Just because it does not fit the Arab Palestinian agenda (everything is theirs), does not mean it is Israel Propaganda.
Most Respectfully,
RThe mandates were fundamentally different from the protectorates in that the Mandatory power undertook obligations to the inhabitants of the territory and to the League of Nations.
And Britain said that Palestine would still be a legal entity after they left. Palestine would still be there but would not be self governing.
Considering that the denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination, sovereignty, independence and return to Palestine and the repeated acts of aggression by Israel against the peoples of the region constitute a serious threat to international peace and security,
Palestine is still there and the Palestinians are still Palestinians.
3. Reaffirms the inalienable right of the Namibian people, the Palestinian people and all peoples under foreign and colonial domination to self-determination, national independence, territorial integrity, national unity and sovereignty without outside interference;
Could we assume that their territory is Palestine. Israel has always denied the existence of Palestine and the Palestinians but that is just a bunch of lies.
