THE ISSUE OF THE US VETO AND POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES TO FULL PALESTINIAN MEMBERSHIP OF THE UNITED NATIONS IN 2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
At the beginning of each session of the United Nations General Assembly, Palestinian and international calls for Palestine's full membership in the United Nations are sometimes renewed, but always fail.
This paper examines the legal alternatives through which the State of Palestine can achieve full membership in the United Nations, in light of the United States' veto of any draft resolution to upgrade Palestine's status to that of a full member state.
