Albania’s Two Votes on Palestine at the UN

The roll calls record support for a humanitarian ceasefire and a later abstention on observer rights.

Albania voted for General Assembly resolution ES-10/22 on December 12, 2023. That measure called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the unconditional release of hostages. On May 10, 2024, Albania abstained on ES-10/23, which expanded Palestinian observer participation and recommended reconsideration of full membership.

The two roll calls concern different proposals. Comparing their texts alongside the votes shows where Albania stood on each measure. An explanation of vote would be needed to establish its reasons.
