'The party wishes to become the joint guarantor of our rights to a free and dignified life and for the fulfilment of your hopes,' the statement added.

We could also put in a peacekeeping force and have the courage, as the European Union, to be joint guarantor of the security of Israel and Palestine.

France and Sweden, moreover, became joint guarantors of the treaty with the Holy Roman Emperor and were entrusted with carrying out its provisions, as enacted by the executive congress of Nuremberg in 1650.
