The United Nations has restored voting rights for Lebanon, Gabon and South Sudan while foregoing those of Venezuela over outstanding debts.
President Csaba Kőrösi told a plenary meeting of the assembly that the three countries reduced their arrears to the U.N. regular budget below the amount specified in the U.N. Charter to cut off voting rights.
The Charter states that countries will be barred from voting if their arrears equal or exceed their assessed contribution to the U.N. budget for the previous two years.
