a vote breakdown by nation at the UN General Assembly on a resolution calling for Palestine to be admitted as a full member of the UN.The UN General Assembly (UNGA) has unanimously decided to back Palestine’s application for full membership in the UN by recognizing it as eligible to join and urging the UN Security Council to “reconsider the matter favorably.”
The US blocked a proposal for full membership last month, and the UN Security Council is the only body that can vote on memberships. Although the present resolution acknowledges Palestinians as eligible for membership, it does not grant them full membership. Instead, it grants Palestine increased participation and certain privileges in the UNGA.
Below is a summary of each nation’s vote at Friday’s UNGA in New York City:
Regarding (143): A: Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Algeria
B: Bhutan, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana
C: Comoros, Costa Rica, Cuba, Cyprus; Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Chad; Chile, China; Colombia;
D: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea),
