Balfour declaration is also nothing but a peace of paper.

[@1czechit1]

Balfour Declaration has been part of international law since 1920, particularly treaty of Sevres (article 95) League of Nations Covenant (article 22) and UN Charter (article 80.) If you treat the Balfour Declaration as such you give you all of it, including the Arab Trans-Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon back to the Ottoman who were genocidal. I am sure Erduan would love to retake the lost territories from WWI.

The Balfour declaration should be treated as such as well.

@@1czechit1 What's your point?

[@1czechit1]

@@ykm257 The point is that the Balfour Declaration was not legal when it was made (Britain was not in control of the land at the time the declaration was made.) However it became prat of international law which established the Arab states (Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq) and the Jewish state (in what is today Israel and Jordan.) To "destroy" the Balfour Declaration is to undo the Arab and Jewish state, and "return" the land to the Ottoman Empire which had designs on genocide to the Jews and Arabs as could be seen by actions it took (and did to the Armenians) during the Great War. I don't think you would want that.
