Israel And Birth Certificates For The Children Of Foreigners
EDM number 799 in 2013-14, proposed by George Galloway on 26/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Middle East and Registration of births, deaths and marriages.
That this House condemns the plan by the Israeli government not to issue birth certificates for babies born to foreigners; points out that this breaches articles 7 and 8 of the United Nations convention on the rights of the child, relating to every child's rights to a registered name, nationality and the preservation of identity; notes that this is another flagrant and unpunished contravention of a UN convention by Israel; and urges the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to urge his opposite number to drop this proposal and preserve the enshrined rights of children, whomever they are born to, within Israel.
This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
