For the second year in a row, the US government under President Donald Trump has denied diplomatic visas for Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas and other Palestinian officials — a move condemned by the PA and outside critics as counter to international peace efforts.
Abbas, who leads both the PA and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), was to attend meetings at the United Nations in New York City next week, but the move by the US State Department means he will have to deliver remarks and participate in meetings via video link.
In a statement, the foreign ministry of the PA called the refusal of visas “an unjustified measure that runs counter to efforts to rebuild trust, develop Palestinian-US relations, and create the necessary political climate for implementing the two-state solution and achieving peace and stability.”
What does the UN actually do, though? All I ever hear are resolutions and rules that no one follows.
Edit: Downvoted for asking a question.
UNICEF : provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children and mothers worldwide UNRWA : provide aids to provide direct assistance, education, health care, and social services to millions of registered Palestine refugees UNESCO : provides direct financial grants to maintain cultural heritage
There are useless part in the UN like the security council and resolutins but some entities are definitely important to maintain
That’s largely because the worst violators have permanent seats on the SC, and hold a veto that they frequently use.
