Romania Abstained on the UN Participation Resolution

The May 2024 roll call records Romania among 25 abstaining states.

On May 10, 2024, Romania abstained on General Assembly resolution ES-10/23. The measure passed with 143 votes in favour and nine against. It expanded Palestine’s participation as an observer state and asked the Security Council to reconsider its application for full membership.

The resolution annex lists participation rights, including the ability to submit proposals. Palestine retained observer status and did not acquire a vote in the Assembly. The roll call records Romania’s position on this measure and leaves its domestic decision process open to further research.
