Venice Declaration

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Venice Declaration (also known as the Declaration of the Venice Summit) was an agreement issued by the nine-member economic committee of the EEC, which met in June of 1980 in conjunction with Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The declaration called for the acknowledgment of Palestinians' right to self-government and the PLO's right to be connected to peace initiatives. As tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict escalated, European countries decided that the current negotiations (as coordinated by the United States) were not working, that the situation was serious, and that they needed to interfere. In justifying their role in the negotiations, the nine European countries cited their traditional and colonial ties to the region. They based the Venice Declaration on Security Council Resolution 242 and Security Council Resolution 338.
