Security Council to discuss Palestinian request for UN membership on Wednesday<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

26 September 2011 – The Security Council will discuss Palestine’s application to become a United Nations Member State on Wednesday morning, when it plans to refer it to the committee tasked with examining such requests.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The 15-member body held closed-door discussions this afternoon on the application, which Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, officially submitted to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon last Friday. Mr. Ban then forwarded the request to the Council.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Speaking to reporters after the talks, Ambassador Nawaf Salam of Lebanon, which holds the Council’s rotating presidency for this month, said the Council will take a decision on Wednesday to refer the application to the Council’s Committee on the Admission of New Members.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Any recommendations for admission must receive the affirmative votes of nine of the Council’s 15 members, provided that none of its five permanent members – China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and United States – vote against the application.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

If the Council recommends admission, the recommendation is presented to the 193-member Assembly, where a two-thirds majority of members present and voting is necessary for admission of a new State.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Palestine currently has observer status at the UN.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
