The Palestinian National Charter

The Palestinian National Charter, adopted in 1968, is a foundational document that outlines the political goals and principles of the Palestinian movement. It emphasizes the right of Palestinians to establish an independent state, advocates for the liberation of Palestine, and historically included language calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state over all of Palestine. Over time, some language has been modified to promote peaceful negotiations and coexistence. The charter reflects Palestinian aspirations for self-determination and sovereignty, serving as a guiding framework for their national identity and political objectives.
