Palestine wants UN vote for statehood

Firstly, admitting a new member into the UN as a recognized state was not what happened with China.

For China, the seat and the country didn't change... "China" held the seat since the very founding of the UN. What changed was the recognition that the PRC had succeeded the RoC, as the sole representative of China. Similar to how the Russian Federation succeeded the USSR.



United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758

No new country was admitted to the UN, they only changed the representatives of a country that was already an existing member.
Geeeezzzz...:rolleyes:...We are not talking about a mere change in diplomatic faces. We are talking about a catastrophic political shift on the UN Security Council itself against the US and into the communist camp. So when the GA decided to boot the ROC as representative for China, an empty seat on the SC has to be filled and the PRC was inserted without US consent.
 
Anyway this is off topic. Gambit if you want to dispute what the BBC has written, you can contact them from their website.

Until then, what they said, has remained uncontested by any evidence you have provided.
Bunk. The evidences are aplenty to support my argument that the GA can bypass the SC and even to the point of its own rules. Best example of this is the 'observer' status in the UN. There is no such thing in the original conception of the UN. The 'observer' status is granted ad-hoc by GA votes. YOU can apply for that status but that does not mean YOU will be granted that status. For the Palestinians, the GA first granted that status, then it granted participation, reply, and voting rights whenever a ME issue is on the table and as long as at least one UN member co-sponsored that wish, which was never difficult to find. So the possibility of a GA bypass to the SC to grant 'statehood' to the Palestinians is not a 'remote possibility' but a very real one given the historical tolerance of the GA to the Palestinians.
