Non-Member state

Hari tu diumumkan palestine sebagai non-member state utk UN... tp org-org tak paham (kat fb) tetiba cakap, Palestine dah diiktiraf sebagai satu negara... not yet!

so apa tu non-member state. So far under UN ada 2 je non-member state 1. Vatican City (or depa panggil Holy See) dan 2. Palestine. Non-member ni boleh join semua aktiviti UN dan boleh jugak mendakwa Israel through ICC (International Criminal Court) cumanya sebagai non-member state, Palestine tak blh vote. Sebelum ni PLO diiktiraf sebagai observer je kat dlm UN.

So sapa yg pernah jd non-member state then jadi member state... here is the list from Wikipedia:

Banyak jugak... and aku tak sangka plak switzerland baru 2002 jadi member of UN. Sblm tu dia jd apa??? hmm...

So mungkinkah palestine satu hari nanti jd member of UN??? and ada ke negara yg tak jd member of UN lagi sampai sekarang???

menurut En Wikipedia... ada lagi so called places yg masih tak diiktiraf sebagai negara... mostly sbb ada negara lain claim itu negara dia. One very close to us - Taiwan, yg diperakui oleh China sbg tanah dia.
Republic of Somaliland (independent since 1991) - claimed under Somalia
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (1992) - claimed by Azerbaijan
Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic or Transnistria (1990) - part of Moldova
Republic of Abkhazia (1999) - claimed by Georgia
Republic of Kosovo (2008) - claimed by Serbia

so ada lagi lah negara yg dah declared independent tp belum jd UN member... mainly due to ada negara yg claimed dia part of their own country and x iktiraf independency. not only the above, ada a few lagi... sila cari di wikipedia.

Last week, dgr citer ada Catalunya (currently part of Spain) pun nak declare independent out of Spain. Satu daerah di Spain sebesar 32 ribu km persegi (kecik skit dr Pahang). Kat Catalunya ni lah ada Barcelona... dan team barcelona tu... n kalau independent, probably Barcelona tak main kat Spain dah, ntah2 masuk ke liga france - sama mcm monaco. anyway, benda ni tak decide lagi... so akan ada lah non UN member state yg baru.
