联合国大会通过耶路撒冷问题的决议

The General Assembly on Thursday adopted a resolution on the status of Jerusalem that will make U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital have no legal effect.

 

本周四的联合国大会上通过一项关于耶路撒冷问题的决议，这项决议使美国总统特朗普承认耶路撒冷为以色列首都的决定没有法律效力。

 

In a rare emergency special session, the draft resolution tabled by Turkey and Yemen was adopted 128-9 with 35 abstentions.

 

The nine countries that voted against the text were Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Togo, as well as the United States and Israel.

 

The resolution "affirms that any decisions and actions which purport¹ to have altered the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded² in compliance³ with relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and in this regard calls upon all states to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem."

 

It further demands that all UN member states comply with Security Council resolutions regarding Jerusalem, and not recognize any actions or measures contrary to those resolutions.

 

Such a vote at the General Assembly is non-binding but a resounding⁴ "yes" reflects the collective will of the international community and carries much political weight.
