North Macedonia Supported the December 2023 Ceasefire Resolution
The UN record distinguishes a humanitarian vote from the later vote on observer participation.
On December 12, 2023, North Macedonia voted for General Assembly resolution ES-10/22. The measure called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, humanitarian access and the immediate and unconditional release of hostages. The Assembly adopted it with 153 votes in favour.
North Macedonia abstained five months later on expanded Palestinian observer participation. Reading the two texts explains what each vote addressed. The December measure concerned civilian protection and humanitarian obligations. The May measure concerned participation and membership at the UN.
