The regime s international legitimacy is equally in a shambles.

That represents a true deviation from the logic of international legality.

Syria stressed its cooperation with the international community in implementing its resolutions on combating international terrorism.

Regime delegitimation has become a leading function of the new permanent International Criminal Court.

International legitimacy is a moral and practical imperative. A multilateral approach is indispensable.

Universality contributes to legitimacy, but in the end, I think legitimacy rises or falls on the basis of whether an international body delivers or not.

It should involve a partnership between AU and the United Nations to ensure regional legitimacy and international credibility.

In the process, Hamas hopes to win the international legitimacy that it has long sought.

Once domestic legitimacy has been achieved, international legitimacy can be generated by the UN's assumption of a truly leading role in managing all aspects of international support in Iraq (political, economic, and security related).

It also affirms the right of the Palestine refugees to their property and to the income from it in accordance with the principles of equity and justice and the resolutions of international legitimacy.

If they are not, this should open the door to international protection and legitimize their classification as refugee.

Legitimacy and Elections

Post Blair Britain is becoming a country for which wars that lack international legitimacy can only presage defeat and moral decay.

Decades of media control over Syria have helped the regime silence its people and maintain international legitimacy.

Some resolute optimists might see this as evidence of a certain trend towards the triumph of legality over force in international relations.

Finance s Crisis of Legitimacy

Of course, international legitimacy can be a vacuous concept when not backed by the capacity to use effective force.

There is a need for a settlement that is in conformity with international legality, as expressed by the United Nations, and with European standards and values a settlement which will enhance regional stability.

We emphasize the need to respect the principles of international legitimacy in combating terrorism by preventing all unilateral measures and violations of international law.

The path towards the settlement of international disputes can be found only by complying with the resolutions and principles of international legality. That is the only way to reduce tension and to prevent frustration and despair from reaching the boiling point as a result of occupation, injustice and aggression.

So legitimacy is more than legality.

C. Illegal migration

Instead of insisting on what the Palestinians cannot give, Israel should focus on what is essential the international legitimacy of its borders.

International efforts to fight terrorism would not succeed unless they were accompanied by efforts to address the conflicts caused when people's legitimate rights were taken from them.

Indeed, illegal immigration is larger when restrictions to legal migration are tight.

Without full control of either the evidence or the accused, the ICTY lacked from the outset the legitimacy and authority of victors justice.

The arrest warrant, assuming that the ICC issues it, seems unlikely to produce the extra judicial effects the political and moral delegitimization of the accused that sometimes follow.

The international community must also reject as illegitimate all Israeli resolutions and measures that are contrary to international legitimacy, including all attempts to undermine the sovereignty of the Holy City, which will be the capital of the Palestinian State.

The question of legality will be examined below.

In the absence of an authoritative basis for a determination of an illegality, the unilateral assertion of illegality would be self serving and inimical to stability of relations.

But national governments remain reluctant to delegate authority in November 2004, the European Council accepted qualified majority voting on measures concerning illegal migration, but left restrictions on legal migration subject to unanimity rules, as if legal and illegal migration were not merely two sides of the same coin.

The saddest part of the story is Israel s utter indifference to the need to build international legitimacy for its drive to stop Iran s nuclear program.

The characterization of the offence and the applicable penalty should not be omitted from either the international instruments which define crimes of that nature, or the Statute of the court in the latter case, the principle of legality of the crime requires their inclusion

We also emphasize the importance of settling disputes among nations and of eliminating the causes of armed conflicts, which have created humanitarian disasters, by strengthening the authority and role of international law.

These policies have exacerbated the sufferings of the Palestine refugees in the occupied Palestinian territory, making their lives unbearable, all of which is incompatible with the resolutions of international legitimacy and international law.

This Friday is being billed friday of delegitimization .

All women, children and elderly people who have been expelled look forward to the day when their land is liberated and they can return to their villages and towns and exercise their rights under international law and United Nations resolutions.

A solution to the Middle East crisis must be based on Israel's compliance with the international community's call for its withdrawal from the occupied Arab territories, in accordance with Security Council resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973).

The Committee strongly believes that the role and contribution of national parliaments and inter parliamentary organizations in shaping public opinion and formulating policy guidelines constitute an important source of international legitimacy in support of a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the question of Palestine.

It lacks legitimacy and its members are unknown.

He writes, This regime just lost the little legitimacy that it had.

It is the only legitimate instrument of global governance that we have.

At the same time, it holds central importance for the Arab region and for the Islamic and Christian worlds in general. Reaching reasonable solution to the question of Jerusalem that is based on international legitimacy is therefore a prerequisite for resolving the question of Palestine in all its aspects and for establishing peace and stability in the region as a whole.

Here, we cannot fail to express our heartfelt appreciation for all efforts made by the United Nations, as the guarantor and protector of the principles of international legitimacy, to address the crisis in the Middle East and the Arab Israeli conflict.

Post war Germany could regain international legitimacy only through reconciliation with the Jewish people. Today, it is Israel s legitimacy that is being challenged in international institutions and Western public opinion for its mistreatment of the Palestinians.
