UN members whose arrears equal or exceed the amount of their contributions for the preceding two full years lose their voting rights.

United Nations: 6 countries lose voting rights in General Assembly. Watch why

UN members whose arrears equal or exceed the amount of their contributions for the preceding two full years lose their voting rights.

At least 6 countries have lost their voting rights in the United Nations General Assembly. Out of the six, at least three countries defaulted on paying dues to the UN's operating budget.
These are Venezuela, Lebanon, and South Sudan. The others who lost voting rights are Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.
UN members whose arrears equal or exceed the amount of their contributions for the preceding two full years lose their voting rights. But the UN Charter also gives the 193-member General Assembly the authority to decide "that the failure to pay is due to conditions beyond the control of the member," and in that case a country can continue to vote.
The General Assembly decided that three African countries on the list of nations in arrears - Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe, and Somalia - would be able to keep their voting rights. It granted the three countries the same exemption last year.
According to the secretary-general's letter, the minimum payments needed to restore voting rights are USD 76,244,991 for Venezuela, USD 1,835,303 for Lebanon, USD 6,19,103 for Equatorial Guinea, USD 1,96,130 for South Sudan, USD 61,686 for Gabon, and USD 20,580 for Dominica.

Israel and Lebanon reached a historic deal over shared maritime border after months of US brokered negotiations. It's a rare pact between two countries that are bitter enemies. But the deal still faces some obstacles, including legal challenges in Israel

'Historic' sea deal between Israel and Lebanon but questions remain

Israel and Lebanon reached a historic deal over shared maritime border after months of US brokered negotiations. It's a rare pact between two countries that are bitter enemies. But the deal still faces some obstacles, including legal challenges in Israel

&nbsp;Israel's prime minister said Tuesday that the country has reached a &ldquo;historic agreement&rdquo; with neighbouring Lebanon over their shared maritime border after months of U.S.-brokered negotiations.
The agreement would mark a major breakthrough in relations with the two countries, which formally have been at war since Israel's establishment in 1948.
But the deal still faces some obstacles, including key legal and political challenges in Israel. There was no immediate confirmation by Lebanon that a deal had been reached.
At stake are rights over exploiting undersea natural gas reserves in areas of the eastern Mediterranean that the two countries &mdash; which do not have diplomatic relations &mdash; claim.
Premier Yair Lapid called the deal an &ldquo;historic achievement that will strengthen Israel's security, inject billions into Israel's economy, and ensure the stability of our northern border.&rdquo; The agreement is expected to enable additional natural gas production in the Mediterranean.
Lebanon hopes gas exploration will help lift its country out of its spiralling economic crisis.
Lebanon and Israel both claim some 860 square kilometers of the Mediterranean Sea. Under the agreement, those waters would be divided along a line straddling a strategic natural gas field.
According to a senior Israeli official, Lebanon would be allowed to produce gas from that field, called &ldquo;Qana,&rdquo; but pay royalties to Israel for any gas produced from the Israeli side.
Lebanon has been working with the French energy giant Total on preparations for exploring the field.
The agreement would also leave in place an existing &ldquo;buoy line&rdquo; that serves as a de facto border between the two countries, the official said.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing behind-the-scenes negotiations.
Many leading security figures, both active and retired, have hailed the deal because it could lower tensions with Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, which has repeatedly threatened to strike Israeli natural gas assets in the Mediterranean.
With Lebanon now having a stake in the region's natural gas industry, experts believe the sides will think twice before opening up another war.
The two sides fought a month-long war in 2006, and Israel considers the heavily armed Hezbollah to be its most immediate military threat.
&ldquo;It might help create and strengthen the mutual deterrence between Israel and Hezbollah,&rdquo; said Yoel Guzansky, a senior fellow at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies. &ldquo;This is a very positive thing for Israel.&rdquo; An Israeli official said the deal would go before Israel's Security Cabinet and then the full Cabinet on Wednesday and be presented to Parliament for a 14-day review. After the review, the Cabinet would reconvene to give final, formal approval, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss government policy.
The process will take place less than three weeks before Israel goes to the polls Nov. 1 for the fifth time in under four years.
Approval is not guaranteed. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has claimed Lapid does not have the authority to sign an agreement and vowed to cancel what he calls a &ldquo;disgraceful deal&rdquo; if re-elected.
The Kohelet Policy Forum, an influential conservative think tank, already has filed a challenge to the Supreme Court trying to block the deal.
Eugene Kontorovich, the forum's director of international law, claimed the agreement requires parliamentary approval.
He accused the government of trying to rush through an agreement under pressure from Hezbollah.
&ldquo;This means Hezbollah now overrides Israel's democracy,&rdquo; he said.
Senior U.S. energy envoy Amos Hochstein, whom Washington appointed a year ago to mediate talks, delivered a modified proposal of the maritime border deal to lead Lebanese negotiator, Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab late Monday night, according to local media and officials.
President Michel Aoun's office said the latest version of the proposal &ldquo;satisfies Lebanon, meets its demands, and preserves its rights to its natural resources," and will hold consultations with officials before making an announcement.&nbsp;

A Lebanese parliamentarian on Wednesday entered a bank branch near Beirut, demanding some of her trapped savings to cover medical expenses.
Cash-strapped Lebanon in recent weeks has witnessed a surge in depositors storming bank branches to forcefully withdraw their locked savings as the country's economy continues to spiral. On Tuesday, depositors stormed at least four banks, two of which were armed.
Lebanon's cash-strapped banks have imposed informal limits on cash withdrawals since late 2019. Since then, three-quarters of the population plunged into poverty, and the Lebanese pound lost some 90 per cent of its value against the dollar.
Beirut legislator Cynthia Zarazir entered a Byblos Bank branch near the capital, demanding USD 8,500 from her savings to cover expenses for a surgery.
The reformist lawmaker arrived with a lawyer, and for several hours has been negotiating with the bank branch's management.
“I am a Lebanese citizen demanding my rights in light of this exceptional situation,” Zarazir told the press and bystanders.
Her lawyer Fouad Debs, a member of legal and advocacy group the Depositors' Union, told The Associated Press that negotiations are ongoing, and that she has rejected a “ridiculous” proposal to withdraw her savings in Lebanese pounds at a fraction of its dollar value.
Meanwhile, dozens of protesters scuffled with riot police near at the Central Bank's headquarters in Beirut.
And in Byblos, a man fired an assault rifle at the glass facade of a bank branch, after employees did not let him in without an appointment.
The general public has commended the bank heists, some even hailing the perpetrators as heroes.
Among the most notable cases was Sally Hafez, who last month stormed a Beirut bank branch with a fake pistol and gasoline canister to take some USD 13,000 to fund her 23- year-old sister's cancer treatment.
The banks meanwhile have condemned the angry depositors' actions, and said in a statement Tuesday that the Lebanese government is primarily to blame for the crisis. Last month, the banks closed for a week after at least seven banks were raided, and have since only partially reopened.
Debs, who alongside the Depositors' Union has tried to help depositors unlock their trapped savings, said that the situation is no longer bearable and that Lebanon needs to reform its economy to become viable again.
“What we want is a collective solution which would be through a recovery plan that's fair, comprehensive, transparent, and includes the restructuring of the banks and public debt,” Debs told the AP, adding that the politicians and bankers should be held accountable for the crisis.
Lebanon for over two years has been struggling to reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout program. The country's government and divided parliament have stalled over about a dozen mandatory reforms ever since they reached a tentative agreement in April, including restructuring its banks, implementing formal capital controls, and reforming its outdated bank secrecy laws. The United Nations and IMF have both criticized Lebanon for its sluggish progress.

An armed man has emerged as an unlikely hero in Lebanon after he held hostages in a central Beirut bank and demanded access to his own money.42-year-old food-delivery driver, Bassam al-Sheikh Hussein entered the bank with a shotgun and a canister of gasoline, fired three warning shots and locked himself in with up to 10 hostages, threatening to set himself on fire unless he was allowed to take out his money.Reports said he insisted on withdrawing part of his frozen savings of $210,000 to help pay for his father’s hospital bill.
Like nearly all Lebanese, the hostage taker’s funds have been off limits for more than two years. Banks, stricken by an economic crisis, have allowed depositors only token withdrawals of dollars each month that are insufficient to meet the most basic of needs.News of the siege was quick to reach all parts of a country where nearly 80% of the population are now considered impoverished after the imposition of informal capital controls. Scenes of a defiant figure holding a bank to ransom resonated with hundreds of thousands of people.

Lebanon's two main power plants were forced to shut down after running out of fuel plunging the country into darkness on Saturday.
Lebanon is grappling with a crippling energy crisis made worse by its dependency on fuel imports.
The Lebanese increasingly depend on private operators that also struggle to secure supplies amid an unprecedented crash of the national currency.
The shortage of diesel and fuel, along with an antiquated infrastructure, has worsened power cuts that have been a fixture for years. Erratic power supplies have put hospitals and essential services in crisis mode.
New shipment of fuel from Iraq is expected next week. But the company, responsible for most of the government's debts, is dependent on credit from the country's central bank, which is struggling with dwindling reserves.&nbsp;
The government has gradually raised prices of fuel and diesel as the central bank cut back on subsidizing dollars for imports, adding to the hardships in Lebanon
With prices soaring and unemployment at a record high, many families have given up private generators and few hours of state power a day is all they get.
