The legitimacy of the State of Israel has been brought into question, specifically, whether Israel's political authority over the area it claims should be accepted as legitimate political authority. The argument as to the legitimacy of the State of Israel is also couched in terms of Israel's right to exist. Israel has been a member of the United Nations since 11 May 1949,〔(un.org/en/members/ 3 July 2006 )〕 but a number of United Nations member states do not recognize Israel and question its legitimacy or right to exist. The campaign to delegitimise Israel is a campaign especially by some Palestinian and Arab leaders and groups for countries to deny or withdrawn recognition of Israel. ==Diplomatic normalization and legitimacy== From an international relations perspective, Israel meets basic standards for legitimacy as a state.〔Edward M. Siegel, ed., Israel's Legitimacy in Law and History (New York: Center for Near East Policy), 1993〕 , 32 United Nations member states did not recognise the State of Israel: 18 of the 21 UN members in the Arab League: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen; a further 11 members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chad, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan; and Bhutan, Cuba, and North Korea.〔 Since the publication of this document, Maldives has recognized Israel.〕 On the other hand, four members of the Arab League recognise Israel: Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania and Palestine; and most of the non-Arab members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation also recognise Israel. In the 1990s, Islamic and leftist movements in Jordan attacked the Israel–Jordan Treaty of Peace as legitimization.〔Paul L. Scham and Russell E. Lucas. "('Normalization' and 'Anti-Normalization' in Jordan: The Public Debate )" Middle East Review of International Affairs, Vol. 5, No. 3 (September 2001)〕 Significant minorities in Jordan see Israel as an illegitimate state, and reversing the normalization of diplomatic relations was central to Jordanian discourse.〔Mustafa Hamarneh, Rosemary Hollis, Khalil Shikaki. ''Jordanian-Palestinian Relations – Where to? Four Scenarios for the Future''. Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1997. p. 8〕 In 2002 the Arab League unanimously adopted the Arab Peace Initiative at their Beirut summit. The comprehensive peace plan called for full normalization of Arab-Israeli relations in return for full Israeli withdrawal from the territories occupied in June 1967. Turki al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia said that in endorsing the initiative every Arab state had "made clear that they will pay the price for peace, not only by recognising Israel as a legitimate state in the area, but also to normalise relations with it and end the state of hostilities that had existed since 1948." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk/about )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Israel and legitimacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
