The General Assembly just passed a Resolution to upgrade Palestine's privileges at the United Nations. 143 member states voted in favor. A few quick facts about what this means. 👇🧵 (1/7)

Overall, this is a big symbolic victory for Palestine, showing a flood of international support. However, these privileges are all focused on the UN system. This will not have an immediate impact on the situation on the ground, where innocent civilians continue to suffer.

So, what does this resolution do? It elevates the privileges of 🇵🇸 at the 🇺🇳. These new privileges are both symbolic, like seating amongst Member States, and more tangible, like the right to submit proposals.

First and foremost, this does NOT afford Palestine full member state status at the UN. They are still a non-member observer state. Full membership requires approval of the UNSC. The US veto last month blocked that. For a refresh of the process ⤵️

Annex letter (l) was added yesterday as clarification, after concern about the way this vote could be used to slash UN funding under a 1990 U.S. law. This statute bars US funds to any UN entity that grants the PLO the same standing as a member state.

Even in the near certain outcome of a U.S. veto, the Palestinians are hoping for 14 votes in favor (which is not a given) to further isolate the US at the UN. This question will likely be brought to a UNSC vote on April 18.

Now, how realistic is it that Palestine obtains full membership? Not very. This process will likely get stuck at step 3, as the U.S. will almost certainly end up vetoing the resolution if it comes to a vote.

Regardless, supporters of 🇵🇸 are hopeful they can obtain a symbolic victory. In 2011, the PA first submitted a request for full membership. There was not enough support then to even push it to a UNSC vote. Now, the political favor has shifted.

Now, how realistic is it that Palestine obtains full membership? Not very. This process will likely get stuck at step 3, as the U.S. will almost certainly end up vetoing the resolution if it comes to a vote.

I talk to @FT about the end of the DPRK Panel of Experts: “The sanctions remain in place on paper, but Russia’s veto removes the UN Security Council’s one impartial source of information on who is breaching the sanctions and how”

Russia has stopped UN from monitoring North Korea sanctions. Who is watching Kim?

Moscow’s veto over extending panel’s mandate leaves west without means of enforcing international curbs on Pyongyang
