The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela participated, on behalf
of the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the United Nations, in the Quarterly
Open Debate to address “The Situation in the Middle East, including the
Question of Palestine”, an activity it carried out in the context
of the Russian presidency of the Security Council of the United Nations (UN).
The Venezuelan delegation demanded that the Council fulfill the
mandate given to it by the Charter of the United Nations, in addition to
adopting, without further delay, a resolution demanding a ceasefire in the Gaza
Strip; and that it admit Palestine as a full member of the UN.
On April 27, 2009, Venezuela officially recognized
the State of Palestine, and since then, it has supported the Arab cause at the
United Nations, in addition to being the first country in America to fulfill that role.
