ABSTRACT

Canada's official foreign policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long reflected a continued commitment to protecting both Israel's right to exist in security, as well as Palestinian rights and aspirations for self-determination. Despite a fairly consistent official foreign policy that seeks to balance both Israeli and Palestinian rights and interests, Canada's voting behavior at the United Nations has undergone significant modifications in the decades following the passing of Resolution 181, which called for the partition the British Mandate of Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state. This paper analyzes the contributing factors that have influenced Canada's voting at the UN on issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. These factors include Canada's international reputation, domestic pressures, and strategic partnerships with both the United States and European allies.
