Today the 79th session of the UN General Assembly began in New York, which will culminate in a high-level week on September 24-30, during which heads of state and government and ministers from around the world will present their vision of the international situation and describe ways to address global challenges.
While this session starts with a change, where for the first time in the General Assembly hall the representatives of Palestine will also sit.
This was made possible by a General Assembly resolution adopted on 10 May 2024. Palestine will be able to include its representatives on the list of speakers at meetings on Middle East affairs, propose amendments and make procedural proposals on behalf of a group of countries.
However, Palestine will remain an observer state, without the right to vote in the meetings of the General Assembly, and its representatives will not have the right to run for positions in UN bodies.
