Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -VotThe USA outlined our reasons for vetoing this resolution in the last thread.
All we are going to say is that we hope the GA votes for this veto, as it's what's best for the continuing conflict in Israel-Palestine. -

Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -VotJust to clarify once again, if you agree with this resolution vote "YES!" If you disagree with this resolution and therefore agree with the veto submitted by the United States of America, vote "NO!".

Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -VotEven if it had the power to veto, which it doesn't, the Commonwealth of Dominica would not be able to veto the resolution in this vote.(Original post by Agent Smirnoff)

Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -VotIraq believes in a free democratic Palestine.
Syria shares the sentiment of Iraq - it is about time a Palestinian state was created. The peace negotiations have hit a dead end. -

Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -Vot[OOC]A veto would only apply in the Security Council, as the United States did previously with this (all applications for full membership are passed to the Security Council first. In reallife if they're vetoed by a member on the SC then they don't come to the GA, but they do here where we get a chance to overturn a veto if there is a high enough majority. ) As this is the General Assembly, no nation has a veto.(Original post by Agent Smirnoff)
Really? How come?
Well sure. Please do note my second countries vote.
You may need to tell T_C which way your second country is voting.

Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -VotBecause the only countries that have a veto power are the permanent members of the SC and one of the non-permanent members (which is going to be decided in a voting process as soon as the last non-perm seat is filled.)(Original post by Agent Smirnoff)

Well sure. Please do note my second countries vote.
Regular GA members don't have veto power.
Nor could you veto this if you wanted to because it's not the sort of vote you can veto, because it's asking if the GA agree's with the veto or not. -

Re: SC 2011/15: Admission of the sovereign state of Palestine to full membership -VotThe sovereign state of Palestine posesses land, a government and population who are mostly peaceful.
If Palestine wish to engage in international relations then Egypt sees no valid reason why they should not be allowed to do this.
