  Four Noes and One Without - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Four Noes and One Without (Chinese: 四不一沒有; pinyin: sì bù, yī méiyǒu) is a pledge by President of the Republic of China Chen Shui-bian made in his inauguration speech on 20 May 2000 concerning the political status of Taiwan.
In addition, the "One Without" was that Chen pledged not to abolish the National Unification Council or the National Unification guidelines though during his administration the National Unification Council has not met once.
Several times, Chen has had to reassure the United States that the Four Noes and One Without policy has not been abolished and that he is not attempting to circumvent the pledge via some of the loopholes that have been suggested.

 Four U.S. rejections scuttled Security Council resolution, Amira Hass
Four U.S. 'noes' scuttled chances of a European proposal for a UN Security Council resolution that would have recommended ways - including "a mechanism for defense" - to halt the deterioration in the situation between Israel and the Palestinians, European sources said yesterday.
The four noes, say sources in the behind-the-scenes talks, shocked the representatives of the four European countries that put together the resolution - Ireland, Britain, Norway and France.
But the story is much more complex: The American noes, say European sources, are what scuttled the compromise resolution, which was based on the hope and assumption that there would be no U.S. veto.

 Yang-9910-Taiwan's-Legal-Status
The external application of the notion of sovereignty did not require as long a period to become the core concept of international law and relations as it did in the domestic context.
Independence may be seen as sovereignty's external aspect; it is a concept which describes the legal right of the state generally to conduct its own affairs without direction, interference, or control by any other state.
The "one China" principle, whatever the definition is, places other countries in a legal/political dilemma: if a country recognizes Beijing as the effective government of a "China" state, then that country cannot simultaneously consider Taipei to govern a "China" state, and still agree with Beijing that Taiwan is part of China.
