UK's High Court also dismissed the claim that "cooperation between UK police and law agencies in northern Cyprus was illegal". Palestine Quebec In Canada, many Francophone citizens in the Province of Quebec have wanted the province to separate from Confederation. The Parti Québécois has asserted Quebec's "right to self-determination. " There is debate on under which conditions would this right be realized.
