Why This Is ImportantThis petition will be presented to UNESCO.
Palestine's admission as a member of UNESCO on 31 October 2011 is illegal - since the two-thirds majority of members required to admit Palestine under articles II(2) and II (3) of UNESCO'S Constitution is 129 - not the 107 member States that actually voted for Palestine's admission.
The decision will cost UNESCO over $100 million per annum in funding and seriously affect UNESCO's ongoing programs for the universal benefit of humankind.
UNESCO has failed to rebut this claim or accede to my request that it urgently obtain an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice
The Executive Committee of UNESCO can recommend the resolution to admit Palestine be nullified since the required majority of 129 members was not obtained OR resolve to obtain an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice as to the legality of Palestine's admission to UNESCO
UNESCO should be concerned to ensure it acts at all times in accordance with its Constitution.
After all, if UNESCO is going to admit 'Palestine' as a member, let it do so through the front door like everyone else--not the back.
Otherwise, how many other of the UN's rules should we expect to be broken when it suits someone's agenda.
Besides signing this petition, please pass it along and share it.

The ICJ will just be supportive - they are a joke organisation that has repeatedly rallied against Israel.
Rather than get UNESCO to do an about face, shouldn't we focus on defunding the organisation and all other arms of the UN - and replace those corrupt and hateful organisations with new ones that have integrity?
Thank you for posting my petition on your web site.
I have just published an article setting out what has happened so far in my attempt to get UNESCO to have the International Court rule on the legality of UNESCO’s decision to admit Palestine.
It can be read at:

I urge your readers and their families and social networks to read this article and sign the petition.

Your idea might indeed work - but in the meantime UNESCO must seek a judicial ruling on the legality of its decision to admit Palestine as a member state.
Two minutes out of every one's time to sign my petition is a small ask to let UNESCO know it is not above the law nor can it be seen to be acting in contravention of the law.
