7
 In 2018 the king of Swaziland proclaimed his nation would be henceforth known as

Swaziland.
8
 Mbabane is the administrative capital of Eswatini (Swaziland), while Lobamba is the
legislative and royal capital of the country.
9
 Both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital and its unresolved status is
one of the core questions at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Israel proclaimed Jerusalem as its capital in December 1949 in defiance of the UN
General Assembly's decision earlier that month to reaffirm the international neutral zone
(Corpus Separatum) status of the city. Due to the UN decision, very few countries
recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and as a result almost all the international
embassies in Israel are located in Tel Aviv.
Most countries maintain a position of 'non-recognition' of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Non-recognition is a legal term used in international law to apply to any situation
established in violation of the League of Nations Pact (resolution 11 March 1932). UN
Security Council resolutions 476 and 478 (1980) assert that Israel is in violation of the
Pact, having unlawfully occupied Palestinian East Jerusalem since 1967. Under
international law, such an occupation precludes Israel from claiming sovereignty on the
city.
More than 135 United Nations member countries recognise Palestine as an independent
state, but Israel and a few other countries, including the United States, do not make this
distinction. The United States recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December 2017,
a significant but rare exception to the decades of international non-recognition
consensus on the highly contested city.
10
 Nur-Sultan (previously named Astana) is the capital city of Kazakhstan. It was
renamed in March 2019, in honour of the departing Kazakh president, Nursultan

13
 Amsterdam is the constitutional capital of the Netherlands. The Hague is the seat of
the government and residence of the monarchy.
14

15
