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.

far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press

On April 9, an international court in France
ruled that Switzerland's inability to address
the climate crisis was a violation of human rights.

a landmark climate decree that
could have a global impact.

of over 2,000 Swiss women who argue that the government
has failed to take action to stop climate change.
The ECHR determined that there were "critical gaps"
in Switzerland's efforts to reduce emissions, citing
the government's failure to meet past climate goals. .
The court ruled that the country's failures amount
to a breach of the women's protection from , “the serious adverse effects of climate change
on lives, health, well-being and quality of life.".
CNN reports that the ruling marks
the first time the ECHR has made
an official ruling on climate litigation. .
Today’s rulings against Switzerland
sets a historic precedent that
applies to all European countries. , Gerry Liston, Lawyer at Global Legal Action Network, via CNN.

countries must urgently revise
their targets so that they are

the country's reliance on fossil fuels, which have
been identified as a main driver of climate change.

remains off course for reaching climate goals aimed at
cutting emissions and avoiding catastrophic warming.
