Explainer: Could the Palestinians become a full United Nations member?

UNITED NATIONS – The Palestinian Authority on Tuesday formally asked for renewed consideration by the United Nations Security Council of its 2011 application to become a full member of the world body.

The 193-nation UN General Assembly approved the de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine in November 2012 by upgrading its observer status at the world body to "non-member state" from "entity." There were 138 votes in favour, nine against and 41 abstentions.Countries seeking to join the UN usually present an application to the UN secretary-general, who sends it to the 15-member Security Council for an assessment and vote.

A council committee of the 15 members first assesses an application to see if it satisfies the requirements for UN membership. The application can then either be shelved or put forward for a formal vote in the Security Council. Approval requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the US, Russia, China, France or Britain.
