UN General Assembly Backs Palestinian Right to Self-Determination
The proposal received approval from a significant majority of 164 member nations, while eight countries opposed it: Israel, the US, Micronesia, Argentina, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Palau, and Nauru.
Meanwhile, nine countries chose to abstain from voting, including Ecuador, Togo, Tonga, Panama, Fiji, Cameroon, the Marshall Islands, Samoa, and South Sudan.
Presented under the agenda item concerning the right of peoples to self-determination, the resolution reiterated longstanding UN positions affirming the Palestinians’ right to freely decide their political status and advance their economic, social, and cultural development.
The text referenced pertinent UN resolutions and international legal frameworks, including the UN Charter and international human rights treaties, emphasizing that self-determination is a core principle of international law.
Additionally, the resolution called upon all nations, UN specialized agencies, and entities within the UN system to maintain support and assistance for the Palestinian people to facilitate the prompt realization of this right.
