US Vetoes Resolution , to Grant Palestine , Full UN Membership.
On April 18, the United States vetoed a United Nations
resolution that would have allowed Palestine
to become a full United Nations member. .
Associated Press reports that the
widely-supported resolution was backed
by 12 of 15 Security Council members. .
The United Kingdom and Switzerland
both abstained from the vote,
while the U.S. opposed the measure.
AP reports that Palestine's broad support reflects the
growing international concern for Palestinians facing

The resolution would have made Palestine
the 194th member of the United Nations. .
Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the
Security Council that the U.S. veto of the resolution... .
... “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood
but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only
come from direct negotiations between the parties.”.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... “been very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York — even with the best intentions — will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”.
In response to the failed vote, Palestinian U.N.
Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the council that
the decision would not deter the Palestinian people.
The fact that this resolution did not
pass will not break our will and it
will not defeat our determination, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press.
We will not stop in our effort.
The state of Palestine is inevitable.
It is real. Perhaps they see it as
far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press

UK Passes Bill , to Send Asylum Seekers to Rwanda.
Following two years of challenges, British parliament has passed the controversial bill, CNN reports.
The U.K. government will now be able to
redirect asylum seekers to Rwanda, where their claims will be weighed by the East African country.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak celebrated
the bill's passage on April 23. .
We introduced the Rwanda Bill to
deter vulnerable migrants from
making perilous crossings and
break the business model of the
criminal gangs who exploit them. , Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The passing of this legislation will
allow us to do that and make it very
clear that if you come here illegally,
you will not be able to stay, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The U.N. and human rights activists
have condemned the bill. .
Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees, said.
“Protecting refugees requires
all countries – not just those neighboring
crisis zones – to uphold their obligations.”.
This arrangement seeks to shift responsibility
for refugee protection, undermining
international cooperation and setting
a worrying global precedent, Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, via statement .
Amnesty International U.K. referred to the legislation
as "a stain on this country’s moral reputation" , which "takes a hatchet to international legal protections for some of the most vulnerable people in the world.".
