| | Declaration of independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A declaration of independence is a proclamation of the independence of an aspiring state or states. | | | Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel (1948) - The declaration was made on May 14, 1948 (the day in which the British Mandate over Palestine expired) by the Jewish People's Council. | | | Declarations of independence are typically made without the consent of the parent state, and hence are sometimes called unilateral declarations of independence (UDI), particularly by those who question the validity of the declarations. |
