Antigua & Barbuda today was among 143 countries that voted in favour of a resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly for the Security Council to reconsider the application of Palestine for membership of the United Nations.
Recognising that the granting of membership resides with the General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Security Council, the resolution calls on the council to act, and expands the rights of the State of Palestine as a Permanent Observer in the General Assembly.
Nine countries voted against the resolution while 25 countries abstained.
