World IN BRIEF : UNITED NATIONS : Vote on PLO Status Delayed to Monday
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Voting on a controversial resolution to upgrade the U.N. status of the Palestine Liberation Organization was postponed until Monday, the Arab League’s U.N. observer, Clovis Maksoud, said. The United States has threatened to withhold its U.N. dues if the General Assembly upgrades the PLO delegation from that of an observer state. The United States pays 25% of the annual U.N. budget of about $850 million, although it is $430 million in arrears.
