General Assembly grants Palestine non-member observer State status at UN<\/h3>\n
29 November 2012 \u2013 The General Assembly today voted to grant Palestine non-member observer State status at the United Nations, while expressing the urgent need for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians leading to a permanent two-State solution.<\/p>\n
The resolution on the status of Palestine in the UN was adopted by a vote of 138 in favour to nine against with 41 abstentions by the 193-member Assembly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not come here seeking to delegitimize a State established years ago, and that is Israel; rather we came to affirm the legitimacy of the State that must now achieve its independence, and that is Palestine,\u201d the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, told the Assembly before the vote.<\/p>\n
Mr. Abbas noted that the world was being asked today to undertake a significant step in the process of rectifying the \u201cunprecedented historical injustice\u201d inflicted on the Palestinian people since 1948.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour support for our endeavour today,\u201d he said, \u201cwill send a promising message \u2013 to millions of Palestinians on the land of Palestine, in the refugee camps both in the homeland and the Diaspora, and to the prisoners struggling for freedom in Israel\u2019s prisons \u2013 that justice is possible and that there is a reason to be hopeful and that the peoples of the world do not accept the continuation of the occupation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, said his delegation could not accept today\u2019s resolution. \u201cBecause this resolution is so one-sided, it doesn\u2019t advance peace, it pushes it backwards,\u201d he stated, adding that peace could only be achieved through negotiations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s only one route to Palestinian statehood and that route does not run through this chamber in New York. That route runs through direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah that will lead to a secure and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians,\u201d he added. \u201cThere are no shortcuts. No quick fixes. No instant solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Israelis and Palestinians have yet to resume direct negotiations since talks stalled in September 2010, after Israel refused to extend its freeze on settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s vote underscores the urgency of a resumption of meaningful negotiations,\u201d Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said after the vote was finalized. \u201cWe must give new impetus to our collective efforts to ensure that an independent, sovereign, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine lives side by side with a secure State of Israel. I urge the parties to renew their commitment to a negotiated peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Addressing the same gathering, the President of the General Assembly, Vuk Jeremic, appealed to \u201cmy dear friends from Palestine and Israel\u201d to work for peace, to negotiate in good faith, and ultimately, to succeed in reaching the historical settlement.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no doubt that history will judge this day to have been fraught with significance \u2013 but whether it will come to be looked upon as a step in the right direction on the road to peace will depend on how we bear ourselves in its wake,\u201d he said. \u201cLet us therefore have the wisdom to act in furtherance of the goal I\u2019m sure we all share.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the resolution, the Assembly also voiced the hope that the Security Council will \u201cconsider favourably\u201d the application submitted in September 2011 by Palestine for full UN membership.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian bid for full UN membership stalled last year when the 15-nation Council, which decides whether or not to recommend admission by the Assembly, said it had been \u201cunable to make a unanimous recommendation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s action comes on the same day that the UN observed the annual International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Established in 1977, the Day marks the date in 1947 when the Assembly adopted a resolution partitioning then-mandated Palestine into two States, one Jewish and one Arab.<\/p>\n
