Procedure
The misinterpretation of UN resolution 2758 by the People’s Republic of China and its continuous military provocations around Taiwan
Resolution on a topical subject.
Summary
In this non-legislative resolution, Parliament addresses the People's Republic of China's misinterpretation of UN Resolution 2758 and its continuous military provocations around Taiwan. The text states that UN Resolution 2758, adopted in 1971, addressed the status of the PRC but did not determine that the PRC enjoys sovereignty over Taiwan nor make any judgement on Taiwan's future inclusion in the UN or other international organisations, and that the PRC continues to misinterpret it to block Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organisations and to unilaterally change the status quo. It reaffirms that the EU maintains its own 'One China' policy, distinct from the PRC's 'One China' principle, and supports the status quo and a peaceful resolution of differences across the Taiwan Strait. The resolution notes G7 support for Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organisations and points to statutes of bodies such as the WHO, the UNFCCC, Interpol and the ICAO that provide opportunities for entities such as Taiwan to participate without infringing on member states' rights.
