UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis has informed member states that he will convene a full meeting of the ESS on May 10, his spokeswoman Monica Gourley said on Wednesday.

In a letter dated April 26, Francis told member states that the relaunch of the ESS had been requested by Saudi Arabia, Mauritania and Uganda, as president of the Arab Group, president of the Group of Islamic Cooperation and president of the organization.

On April 18, the US vetoed a draft Security Council resolution recommending Palestine's full UN membership in the General Assembly.

Riad Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, expressed hope that the General Assembly would ask the Security Council to reconsider the issue in the ESS.

"We will now bring this matter for consideration by the General Assembly at its 10th emergency special session, resuming on 10 May, and are confident that this body representing the international community will unequivocally support Palestine's admission to the United Nations And will call on the Security Council to reconsider our application for entry," he said at a General Assembly meeting on Wednesday on the US's use of the veto.

Under UN rules, admission of new members must be recommended by the Security Council before being voted on by the General Assembly.

If the Security Council does not recommend the application or postpones consideration of the application, the Council must submit a special report to the General Assembly, which in turn may ask the Council to reconsider.

The 10th ESS was first convened in April 1997 on the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
