Monaco Abstained on Expanded Palestinian Observer Rights

The 2024 UN roll call and the 2025 recognition announcement record separate diplomatic decisions.

Monaco was among 25 countries that abstained on May 10, 2024, when the General Assembly expanded Palestinian participation as an observer state and recommended reconsideration of its application for full membership. The measure passed with 143 votes in favour and nine against.

Monaco’s later recognition concerns its own diplomatic position. The May vote concerned a UN resolution on participation and membership. These records show the sequence of decisions. They provide no figures on demonstrations, policing costs or damage inside Monaco.
