The United Nations Common Meeting (UNGA) has overwhelmingly voted to assist a Palestinian bid to change into a full UN member by recognising it as certified to affix and recommending the UN Safety Council “rethink the matter favourably”.
Memberships can solely be determined by the UN Safety Council, and final month, the US vetoed a bid for full membership.
The present decision doesn’t give Palestinians full membership, however recognises them as certified to affix, and it provides Palestine extra participation and a few rights throughout the UNGA.
