UK Parliament Rejects PRC Sovereignty Over Taiwan, Citing UNGA Resolution 2758
Nov 28, 2024, 02:21 PM
The British Parliament has passed a motion led by MP Blair McDougall regarding UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, which does not establish the People's Republic of China's (PRC) sovereignty over Taiwan or determine Taiwan's status within the United Nations. The debate, held on November 27, 2024, emphasized that the resolution does not mention Taiwan, address its political status, or establish PRC sovereignty over Taiwan. The motion was supported by members of Parliament, including Catherine West, and was seen as a rejection of China's use of UNGA Resolution 2758 to justify its 'One China' principle. Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed gratitude for the UK's stance, urging the Chinese Communist Party to cease using the resolution to exclude Taiwan from UN organizations.
