Security Council refers Palestinian application to UN membership committee<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

28 September 2011 – The President of the Security Council today referred Palestine’s application to become a United Nations Member State to the committee that deals with the admission of new members. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Council’s decision to refer the <\/span>application<\/a> comes almost a week after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas submitted the application to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who then forwarded it to the 15-member body. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Council’s Committee on the Admission of New Members is slated to consider the application on Friday. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Any application for UN membership is considered by the Council, which decides whether or not to recommend admission to the 193-member General Assembly, which then has to adopt a resolution for the admission of a Member State. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Palestine, which currently has observer status at the UN, submitted the application for full membership “based on the Palestinian people’s natural, legal and historic rights” and based on <\/span>resolution 181<\/a> adopted by the General Assembly in November 1947, Mr. Abbas wrote in his submission to the Secretary-General. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In resolution 181, the Assembly decided on the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab States. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Mr. Abbas added that the submission comes “after decades of displacement, dispossession and the foreign military occupation of my people” and with the successful culmination of the Palestinian State-building programme.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
