palestine liberation organization (plo) had been recognized as "sole legitimate representative of the palestinian people," competent on all matters concerning the question of palestine by the un general assembly in addition to the right of the palestinian people in palestine to national independence and sovereignty, and was granted observer status at the un general assembly as a "non-state entity", from 1974. in mid-november 2011, the plo submitted an official application to become a full member of the un. a successful application would require approval from the un security council and a two-thirds majority in the un general assembly. however, the security council's membership committee deadlocked on the issue and had been "unable to make a unanimous recommendation to the security council". the report was the result of seven weeks of meetings, detailing myriad disagreements between the council members on whether palestine fulfills the requirements set forth in the u.n. charter for members countries. with their application for full membership stalled, the plo sought an upgrade in status, from "observer entity" to "non-member observer state". in november 2012, un general assembly accepted the resolution upgrading palestine to "non-member observer state" within the united nations system, reasserting plo as the representative of the palestinian people.
