World tests UN from Abbas to Trump
The article discusses the procedures and conflicts related to the representation of Palestinians and Iranians at the United Nations. It highlights how the United States permitted the entry of an important Iranian delegation to New York despite visa restrictions imposed on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. While the UN General Assembly recognized the right of Palestinian presidents to address meetings via video conference, legal and political obstacles continued to impose restrictions on actual access, owing to the differing statuses of Palestine and Iran within the organization. The article examines the legal and political ramifications of not applying the principle of equality in membership and visas, and the ongoing conflicts between international legitimacy through institutions—especially given the strong influence and control of major powers over the UN Charter. It also addresses efforts for internal reform of the Security Council, the division of power between legitimacy and capability, and how Arab countries are pushing for moves to enhance their interests. Finally, it considers the impact of these dynamics on conflict issues and institutional reforms.
