Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that on 31 October 2011, full Palestinian membership in the United Nations cultural body, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, was approved in a landslide vote, with 107 votes in favour of admission, with 14 votes against and with 52 abstentions; (2) further notes that Palestine becomes the 195th member state in the group best known for its designation of world heritage sites;
(3) congratulates Palestine on its acceptance as a full member of Unesco; and
(4) encourages the Palestinians to pursue their goal of inclusion as a member of the UN.
Agreed to.
