Dear all,
The Negotiations Office at the Negotiations Affairs Department has just issued an updated version of Frequently Asked Questions on Palestine’s Application for UN Membership. They answer questions relating to the political and legal background of this step as well as address issues relating to the PLO’s legal standing and right of return.
Palestine’s Application for UN Membership
OCTOBER 2011
The right to self determination of the Palestinian people, like that of all peoples, is an inalienable right that is not up for negotiations.
The establishment of a sovereign and viable Palestinian is a debt owed by the international community to the Palestinian People that is long-overdue.
This right has awaited implementation for nearly seven decades.
Palestinians are asking for international recognition of their State on the 1967 borders, including East Jerusalem, as stipulated in international resolutions.
They also seek admission to the United Nations as a full member.
In UN General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 181 II- the resolution that provided the legal basis for Israel’s admission to the UN - the General Assembly instructed that “sympathetic consideration” be given to our application for membership in the UN. Thus, international recognition of the State of Palestine and its admission to the UN as a full-member is consistent with and supports a resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Thank you,
Palestine Liberation Organization
Negotitions Office
