UN Assembly Urges Palestine Membership After Vote
UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations general assembly has voted for Palestines to be accepted as a member.
UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations general assembly has voted for Palestines to be accepted as a member.
Its current non-member observer state status since 2012, allows some rights short of a full member.
The vote by the 193-member general assembly was a global survey of support for the Palestinian bid to become a full member.
However, membership can only be decided upon by the UN security council.
The news comes as several European countries are reportedly planning to recognise a Palestinian state.
Last month, the US vetoed a widely backed Algerian resolution seeking Palestine’s admittance as a state.
