I looked on the official UN website and it said that all of the following countries are not members of the United Nations:
Anguilla
Aruba
Bermuda
British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Cook Islands
French Polynesia
Montserrat
Netherlands Antilles
New Caledonia
Occupied Palestinian Territory
Puerto Rico
Turks and Caicos Islands
Zanzibar
My question, is why these countries are not members. I have looked and looked all over the internet and cannot figure out why!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.59.1.211 (talk • contribs) 16:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
===>No worries These territories are mostly dependencies, so their interests are represented by member states. The occupied Palestinian territory is on this list, as the Palestinian National Authority. Zanzibar used to be independent, but chose by referendum to merge with Tanganyika to become Tanzania. -Justin (koavf), talk 00:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- another reason: it's too expansive especially for SIDS; you have to pay for being a member of the UN. --Dirk | <°°> 14:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Isn't the Turkish Community of Cyprus reprsented by an observer? Ybgursey 05:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I think that is the UN that is present in the Turkish Community, and not just with one observer!!!
These aren't States, so they lack at least the second quality to be member states
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OIC-Flag.jpg
Image:OIC-Flag.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
