Thank you to all the [heksagonale bjørne] that are making my day much better.

Very interesting, thank you.

the eleventh hour american proposal

Not exactly “eleventh hour”, it was submitted on the 29th of Sept, 4 days after the Albanian (et al.) proposal on the 25th of Sept. A truely eleventh hour proposal can be seen with the Saudi Arabian A/L.638 submitted on the day of the vote (25 Oct.)

Also… From A/PV.1976:

Mr. MALILE (Albania):
[…]
73. The explanations we have heard here concerning draft resolution A/L.632 are completely unfounded. This draft is basically an integral part of the anti-Chinese attempt of the United States of America to legalize its “two Chinas” plot and is designed to sabotage the approval of the draft resolution of the 23 States, including Albania [referring to A/L.630, which would expel the RoC and invite the PRC. It became the draft that was adopted]. The content of such a draft is illegal. It seeks to open the way to the United States manoeuvre aimed at involving the United Nations in the domestic affairs of the Chinese people, which is the aim of draft resolution A/L.633 [keeping the RoC in the UN, but replacing it with PRC on Security Council]. As has been clearly pointed out, that draft resolution is in flagrant contradiction with Article 18 of the Charter. It goes without saying that the Article cannot be applied to our draft resolution.

I looked into it a little. The meeting records (see A/PV.1976 below the video) states that they are voting on A/L.632, which is:

The General Assembly,
Recalling the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations,
Decides that any proposal in the General Assembly which would result in depriving the Republic of China of representation in the United Nations is an important question under Article 18 of the Charter.

Article 18, §2:

Decisions of the General Assembly on important questions shall be made by a two-thirds majority of the member present and voting.

So, indirectly they are trying to split them. But the vote is not directly on that.

BossColo has already responded to this (external link to sdf.org). But was banned by lemmygrad, so you can’t see it.

Every time I forget just how bad the U.S. is, I am reminded “death to amerikkka”.

Yes. It also voted “yes” on L.52

There’s a video of the UN voting on the PRC’s membership to the exclusion of Taiwan, the entire room laughs when America casts its vote

unmultimedia.org; “1976th Plenary Meeting of General Assembly: 26th Session - Part 2” (skip to ~6:50)

Thank you. As you said, even if the person you responded to didn’t read it, there are us comrades that will learn from it.

This isn’t the security council, or anywhere else, where the U.S. has veto rights. This (the Third Committee) seems to run on “majority yes” voting (i.e. if enough vote yes, it is adopted).

Here is what uralsolo had to say:

How this operates varies between regions

(Of course, emphasis mine)

^{From Voting records of the Third Committee:}

Recorded vote on draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5, as orally revised and as amended - Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance

Recorded vote on draft amendment A/C.3/77/L.52 - Amendment to draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5

US and Ukraine voted no, on L.5. And yes on the L.52 amendment.

For reference:

The Committee then took up draft amendment “L.52”, which inserts a new operative paragraph, reading: “Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.”
