Exposing the PRC’s Distortion of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 to Press its Claim Over Taiwan

About this event
The People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) strategy for pressing its claim that Taiwan is a part of China increasingly relies on a claim that UN General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 establishes, as a matter of international law, the PRC’s “One China” principle. The PRC’s account mischaracterizes the contents of Resolution 2758 and ignores the limits to the UN’s powers to make international law.
Join GMF’s Indo-Pacific Program on Monday, April 29, 2024 from 2:30 to 3:30pm at GMF HQ for a discussion of our new report, titled: “Why UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 Does Not Establish Beijing’s ‘One China’ Principle: A Legal Perspective.”
