Briefing
In 2011, the ‘State of Palestine’ applied to become a member of the United Nations. Its application was unsuccessful, but in 2012 it successfully obtained the lesser status of “non-member observer state.” Separately, 134 out of 193 UN member states have extended diplomatic recognition to the State of Palestine. This note provides details of all these processes and developments.
