The issue of Palestine's independency and position is 1 of the most crucial and longest-running points in the United Nations agenda.
UN status: Since 2012, Palestine has had the position of "permanent observer state" (non-member) in the UN. This allows her to participate in the proceedings and work of committees and to join global tribunals, but without the right to vote.
The number of UN associate States officially recognising Palestine has already increased to around 146–147 countries including successive governments including France, the United Kingdom and Canada.
UNRWA – UN's main operation agencyIn an organization sense, UN's most crucial executive agency is UNRWA (United Nations Agency for the Relief of Palestinian Refugees in the mediate East). It was established already in 1949 to supply humanitarian aid, education, medical care and social services for registered Palestinian refugees. Despite deep political crises, Israeli allegations and neutrality disputes, the global Court of Justice (IAS) and the United Nations stress that UNRWA's activities are now irreplaceable for the endurance of the civilian population, peculiarly in the Gaza Strip.
Dedicated Committees and Resources of the UNAs part of the United Nations system, the UNISPAL (United Nations Information strategy on the Question of Palestine) constantly addresses this issue. It coordinates the documentation and activities of bodies specified as the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian Nation (CEIRPP), a UN body appointed to advance the right of Palestinians to self-determination and independence. UN peculiar Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories occupied since 1967.
Poland officially recognized the declaration of independency of Palestine in 1988 (in the period of the Polish People's Republic), which resulted in the creation of the Palestinian Embassy in Warsaw. The current position of Polish diplomacy is based on full support for the two-state solution developed in the negotiations, guaranteeing the safe coexistence of both sovereign states – Israel and Palestine.
The US authorities have again refused to issue entry visas for the Palestinian government delegation, including president Mahmud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. This decision will prevent them from personally participating in the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in fresh York.
This is the second year in a row erstwhile the U.S. administration blocks Palestinian leader's ability to make a individual appearance in fresh York for the same political reasons
UN and global community response: The UN General Assembly voted for the resolution (ratio of 152 votes to 3), which allows Mahmud Abbas to give a speech via video and distant participation in meetings for the next year.
