Adoption of the UN General Assembly
resolution regarding the Status of Palestine in UN, and Japan's
position
Summary
The meeting of the UN General Assembly was held in the morning on November 30
(Japan time), and the resolution on granting non-member observer state status to
Palestine (A/RES/67/19) has been adopted by a majority.
Japan has long understood the Palestinians' aspiration for building an
independent State and has supported the right of the Palestinian people to self
determination. Japan thus endorses a two-State solution under which Israel and a
future independent Palestinian State would co-exist side by side in peace and
security. In light of this, Japan voted in favor of this resolution regarding
the status of Palestine at the United Nations.
