SAN REMO
On April 27, 2010, European Coalition for Israel hosted the 90th anniversary of the signing of the San Remo Resolution, which paved the way for the creation of the modern State of Israel. Since that date, we have continued to provide educational resources about the legal foundations of the State of Israel based on the San Remo Declaration of 1920 and the Mandate for Palestine of 1922.
In order for you to have better understanding of the importance of the San Remo declaration for modern State of Israel and to be effective in advocating for Israel’s legal rights, we have decided to provide you with these resources to better comprehend the legal position of Israel as it relates to international law.

“Give Peace a Chance” is a 15 minute documentary about the long hidden document of the classified minutes from the San Remo Peace Conference of April 1920 which still defines the legal rights under international law of the Jews as well as the Arabs.

WORDS ABOUT THE BOOK
Ambassador Danny Ayalon
"There are few issues that are more neglected, misunderstood and misrepresented in the international debate arena than Israel´s rights in the disputed territories."
There are few issues that are more neglected, misunderstood and misrepresented in the international debate arena than Israel´s rights in the disputed territories.
Whereas much attention has been given to the plight of the Palestinian people, little appears to be truly understood about Israel´s rights to what are generally called the “occupied territories” but what really are “disputed territories.” Dr. Cynthia Wallace and the European Coalition for Israel have done a great service to those who are truly interested in the facts and not only fiction and myths, by presenting a clear legal perspective on this important issue.
A final and comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East can only be built upon historical facts and legal foundations. Through her well-researched and clearly presented document, Dr. Wallace has significantly contributed to a common understanding grounded in history and international law.

"Cynthia Wallace provides one of the clearest, most succinct and compelling explanations of Israel's right to its land that I have read."
Cynthia Wallace provides one of the clearest, most succinct and compelling explanations of Israel’s right to its land that I have read. She sheds light on the Israeli-Palestinian issue where too often rhetoric and half-truths have obscured the legal and historic right of the Jewish people to a homeland.
Nations and individuals need to know the history before they make historic decisions. Wallace provides it. I believe it’s a profound contribution to the world-wide dialogue that should be read by diplomats, journalists and decision makers as they deliberate on the pressing issue of our time.

"Dr. Cynthia Wallace has put together a most important book on the foundational rights for Israel's existential privilege in Jerusalem and the land once known as "Palestine"."
Dr. Cynthia Wallace has put together a most important book on the foundational rights for Israel’s existential privilege in Jerusalem and the land once known as “Palestine”. These foundational rights extend beyond just ‘humanitarian’ considerations, being firmly moored in the underpinnings of international law.
This book should be required reading for political representatives and concerned citizens of any nation that desires to justly pursue resolution of the seemingly unending territorial disputes between Israel and the Palestinians. While Dr. Wallace’s contribution does not pretend to be a “road map for peace”, without the relevant legal comprehension there can be no “road map for peace”.
