(Reuters)-the Palestinian authority President mahmoud abbas says he will ask, last Friday, a real Palestinian state in the United Nations admitted, when he enters the world organization of the next week, from Israel and the United States to ignore fierce opposition.
Here are some behind the push, and some possible consequences of reason.
Why the palestinians hope to go to the United Nations?
Abbas said, 20 years of the u.s.-led peace talks, and hope to make any progress in the United Nations vote with the palestinians, presented a country cherish the mantle. Still, he acknowledged that the negotiations with Israel, still need to build a normal operation condition.
The reason, the Palestinian point to western support, for a period of two years, and set up agencies to plan for the country, they say has now completed successfully.
Palestinians hope that in 1967 years the rejected recognition. Why?
The Palestinian authority (PA), firmly master said in Israel in the 1967 war captured territory placed their country will provide clear the limits of authority, and says Israel will no longer able to call land "controversial." On the contrary, it will make clear, it is occupied. Israel fears, which will make the Palestinian people to start in the international criminal court (ICC) for about 500000 people live in east Jerusalem Israel and the west bank legal procedures.
How does the UN to accept new member states?
Seek to join the UN country often exists an application of the secretary general of the United Nations, and passing it on to the security council, to evaluate and vote. 15 countries, if the parliament approved the request of members, it is through the assembly approved. A member of the request of the need to two-thirds of the majority, or 129 votes for, for approval.
A nation can't join the United Nations, unless approved by the security council and its application.
Palestinian join the United Nations?
In theory, the answer is yes. But, Washington has clearly will veto such requirements. This means that it has no chance of success. Even if the palestinians have the two-thirds majority vote in congress, no around the needs of the prior approval of the security council.
Is "not a member of the state of the" a choice?
In addition, the application to become a whole UN member states, the palestinians may also seek upgraded to a the observer status of member states. This is the Vatican. The United Nations envoy said, such a state, may be interpreted as a Palestinian state, the United Nations recognized the hidden because congress will admit that the palestinians the actual control condition.
The benefits of this option is, it will require only a simple majority of the 193 national convention, not the two-thirds majority. Abbas said, on Friday, more than 126 countries have admitted that, this means that he is Palestinian state may win such a relaxed a ticket.
Use this, what would it be?
In addition to giving them all the important title of "state," the diplomat said, it may make the Palestinian people to join the international criminal court, it can pursue local blockade of the gaza settlements, Israel legal case.
For the palestinians if there are any weakness?
Has the potential hazard. For example, Israel may run counter, this is by islamic group hamas gaza fired missiles at the international criminal court, the Palestinian people.
Some critics have warned that the palestinians their legal consequences, think the move could endanger in Palestinian diaspora and the Palestine liberation organization (plo) state of refugees rights. Others refuted these arguments.
In addition, the United Nations vote will not change in the Palestinian territories things on the ground-a reality, which could further weaken the Palestinian leadership position, when the dust settles. Some Israel warned against Israel's disappointment could fan violent behavior, and even sparked new uprising. The Palestinian authority officials denied the prospect.
Israel or the exact to PA Washington punishment?
Israeli officials have put forward a series of measures, including restrictions may seek out of the west bank Palestinian leaders travel privilege, to stop the tax is very important to the Palestinian people, even transfer annexation of west bank settlement, to try to avoid the international criminal court to take legal action. Some American officials have warned that they could cut them every year to the Palestinian authority, it runs about 4.5 million dollars in aid. It is clear, if they will develop these threats. Deprived of the Palestinian authority funds, for example, will quickly pushed to the financial collapse, will cause instability. In bankruptcy, some people think that the Palestinian leadership, PA should hand over big west bank city for Israel's key, and tell it to pay for occupation.
