	Taiwan independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Taiwan independence (Chinese: 台灣獨立, pinyin: Táiwān dúlì, Taiwanese Romanization: Tâi-oân To̍k-li̍p; abbreviated to 台獨, Táidú, Tâi-to̍k) is a political movement whose goal is primarily to create an independent and sovereign Republic of Taiwan (out of the lands currently administered by the Republic of China) that is politically, culturally, and geographically separate from China.
		The movement is internationally significant because a formal declaration of independence will lead to a military confrontation not only between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, but could also provoke the intervention from the United States and Japan in defense of their protectorate.
		Between 1949 and 1991, the official position of the ROC government on Taiwan was that it was the legitimate government of all of China and used this position as justification for authoritarian measures such as the refusal to vacate the seats held by delegates elected on the mainland in 1947 for the Legislative Yuan.

	State practice and international law in relation to unilateral secession (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"unilateral declaration of independence" (or UDI) is a term commonly used to refer to the unilateral act by which a group declares that it is seceding and forming a new state.
		The independence of a state is established by the process of establishment of effective control over territory and recognition by other states, especially the state on whose territory the secession is occurring.
		Thus a declaration of independence is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for unilateral secession.

	Independence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Independence is fully autonomous self-government of a nation by its residents and indigenous population, generally exercising sovereignty.
		The term independence is used in contrast to subjugation, which refers to a region as a "territory" —subject to the political and military control of an external government.
		Independence can be the initial status of an emerging nation (often filling a political void), but is often an emancipation from some dominating power, only obtained by decolonization (Independences obtained that way are listed chronologically in that article), or by separation or dismemberment.

	The Supreme Court's Reference on unilateral secession: a turning point in Canadian history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the case of a unilateral declaration of independence by a provincial government, the Government of Canada is legally justified to continue to honour peacefully its constitutional responsibilities toward the population of that province.
		The unilateral declaration would be valid for the entire territory of Quebec, regardless of the opinions of voters in the various regions of the province, because the territorial integrity of Quebec, though not that of Canada, would be protected by law.
		There are, unfortunately, many populations in the world who desire their independence to an almost unanimous degree, that are victims of unimaginable exactions by the states to which they belong, and yet do not succeed in obtaining international recognition as independent states.

	"International Recognition of a Unilaterally Declared Palestinian State: Legal and Policy Dilemmas" by Tal Becker
		In an effort to overcome the legal problems which undermine their claim, Palestinian representatives have argued that a unilateral declaration of statehood is not an unlawful act despite the existence of repeated undertakings not to alter the legal status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip pending the outcome of permanent status negotiations.
		In conclusion, a unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood, which is not coordinated with Israel, constitutes a fundamental violation of repeated and legally binding undertakings to resolve outstanding issues by negotiation and to refrain from unilateral acts.
		Similarly, the unilateral declaration of statehood by the Turkish minority of Northern Cyprus has been rejected by the international community in part on the basis that it exceeds the rights afforded to this community by the self-determination principle.

		The Unilateral Declaration of Independence in Turkish Occupied Cyprus -
		The Denktash regime's insistence that Greek Cypriots present their passports in order to cross into the occupied area, is an illegal act that aims at further consolidating the "purported independent state" and the division of the island and as such is in violation of UNSC Resolution 550 (1984).
		One would expect that such a clear, undeniable declaration on the part of the EU would have brought Turkey to its senses, especially when it ardently desires to become a member of the European Union.

		It is a supreme irony that a mere 22 years since we heard the phrases "Rhodesia is the issue that threatens to break the Commonwealth", and "Rhodesia is a stain on the conscience of all those who believe in a democratic, multi-racial Commonwealth", Zimbabwe is now that issue.

		A UNILATERAL declaration of independence, currently under serious consideration by the Palestinians in the wake of the stalled peace talks, must not be made as a threat.

		There is no doubt that when the Palestinians declare their state on their soil, there will be an avalanche of countries which would recognise it.

		The Reference re Quebec Secession ([1998] 2 S.C.R. 217) is the advisory opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada that addresses the constitutionality of a hypothetical unilateral declaration of independence by the province of Quebec.
		First, in the latest step in its long march to independence, the Parti Québécois government of Jacques Parizeau announced in 1994 that it would hold another referendum on independence in October of 1995.
		In regard to the first question, the Court declared that secession “must be considered, in legal terms, to require an amendment to the Constitution, which perforce requires negotiation.” The opinion stresses the conditions and processes of negotiation almost to the exclusion of formal constitutional amendment.

	Unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood legal status - Likoed Nederland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood would change the West Bank and Gaza's status and thus constitute a flagrant violation of the Oslo Agreements.
		Since it is difficult for Arafat to make a convincing legal case for UDI [unilateral declaration of independence] within the Oslo framework, he might justify such a course in a different way, as a rejection of the process and its earlier agreements.
		But even this action would not validate a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence.

	1997 Stephane Dion letter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Dion says Bouchard's letter was the first time the premier has expressed his views in writing on the legality of a unilateral declaration of independence by Quebec.
		Bouchard's argument is based on three rules that he claims are universally accepted: that a unilateral declaration of independence is supported by international law; that a majority of "50 per cent plus one" is a sufficient threshold for secession; and that international law rejects any changes to the borders of the entity attempting to secede.
		For example, he is no doubt aware that France insisted on partitioning the island of Mayotte from the Comoros at the time the latter gained independence, because the residents of Mayotte unequivocally expressed their desire to maintain their link with France.
