The State of Palestine continues to enjoy the right of participation in the sessions and work of the General Assembly and the international conferences convened under the auspices of the Assembly or other organs of the United Nations, as well as in United Nations conferences, pursuant to resolutions 43/160 and 52/250 and as set out in the note by the Secretary-General on participation of Palestine in the work of the United Nations of 4 August 1998 (A/52/1002). Those rights are not affected by resolution 67/19.

As a general matter, the State of Palestine does not enjoy the right to vote, including in elections. Nor may the State of Palestine submit its own candidacy for any election or appointment or, submit the names of candidates for any election or appointment, with one exception. Pursuant to the Statute of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, non-member States maintaining permanent observer missions at United Nations Headquarters have the right to submit nominations for and to vote in the elections for the permanent and ad litem judges of the Residual Mechanism. 

Pursuant to Article 35, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations, the State of Palestine may also place items on the provisional agenda of the Security Council and the General Assembly. 

With respect to conferences convened under the auspices of the General Assembly and other United Nations conferences, as a non-member observer State of the United Nations and a member of UNESCO, the State of Palestine may participate fully and on an equal basis with other States in conferences that are open to members of specialized agencies or that are open to all States. Arrangements are being made to ensure the full participation of the State of Palestine in conferences convened on that basis.
