Article 1. Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people …
Article 2. Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.
Article 5. The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father—whether inside Palestine or outside it—is also a Palestinian.
Article 9. Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase.
Article 15. The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine.
Article 19. The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time …
Palestinian National Charter (1968)
