Can you make a video about what benefits Palestine can get from being fully admitted into the UN?
I know some, if I understand the way the UN works correctly:
- Membership in various UN agencies and organizations would enable Palestine to participate in decision-making processes and benefit from resources and expertise available through these institutions. For example, access to agencies like the World Health Organization or UNICEF could improve healthcare and education outcomes for Palestinians. Because currently, they are operating under the behest of Israel, which they can obstruct and stop at any time.
- Palestine would have greater opportunities to engage in legal mechanisms, such as the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court, to seek redress for human rights abuses and violations of international law. This could include legal challenges to Israeli settlements, the separation barrier, and other aspects of the occupation. This would give Palestine the right to sue Israel instead of depending on courageous countries to take the lead.
- It would also be able to leverage resolutions and sanctions within the UN framework, and this can help.
- Admission as a full UN member would further affirm their right to a homeland and self-governance.
Obviously Israel would not want that to happen, and the US could veto that though that would just expose how much they actually "support" the so-called "two-state solution."
