United Nations General Assembly Resolution 67/19 is a primary legal and political document, the actual text of the resolution itself, confirmed against the UN's own historical record: adopted 29 November 2012 by a recorded vote of 138 in favour, 9 against and 41 abstaining, with 5 absent. Its strength is that it is the UN's own record of according Palestine non-member observer state status, the same status held by the Holy See, in the General Assembly's own words. Its limit is the ordinary one for any General Assembly resolution: it is a political and legal instrument stating what the Assembly decided, not an independent account of the resolution's later practical or legal effects, which other sources address separately.
