Resolution items
During the resumption of its tenth emergency special session, which was held under the title: “Illegal Israeli actions in occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory,” the General Assembly adopted the resolution, submitted by the Arab Group and a number of other countries, stipulating that the State of Palestine qualifies for membership in the United Nations in accordance with Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations and “should therefore be admitted as a member”  of the organization. It recommends that the Security Council positively reconsider this issue. 

In accordance with the resolution, the General Assembly decides, on an exceptional basis - and without this setting a precedent - to adopt several methods to secure the participation of the State of Palestine in the sessions and work of the General Assembly and the international conferences held under its auspices and other United Nations organs.

The resolution reaffirms the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including their independent state: Palestine.

It calls on the international community to make renewed and coordinated efforts to end the Israeli occupation that began in 1967, and to reach a just, lasting and peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in accordance with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.
