Talk:United Nations General Assembly Resolution 46/86
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1991,resolution # 3379 from 1975 was overturned by resolution # 4686under the pressure of the US and as part of the condition for the state of Israel to attend the Madrid Peace conference. Resolution # 4686 stated:
"The general assembly decides to revoke the determination contained in its resolution 3379 of 10 November 1975."
Of the 165 nations in the UN General Assembly, 25 continued to oppose resolution # 4686, some stating that the very idea of a Jewish sovereign nation which all other people claim as a Godgiven right was racist and should continue to be a binding resolution.
