UN backs Palestine’s bid for membership: How did your country vote?
A breakdown by country of the UN General Assembly vote on a resolution for Palestinian to become a full UN member.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has overwhelmingly voted to support a Palestinian bid to become a full UN member by recognising it as qualified to join and recommending the UN Security Council “reconsider the matter favourably”.
Memberships can only be decided by the UN Security Council, and last month, the US vetoed a bid for full membership.
The current resolution does not give Palestinians full membership, but recognises them as qualified to join, and it gives Palestine more participation and some rights within the UNGA.
Here is a breakdown of how each country voted in the UNGA in New York City on Friday:
