Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

It did not apply for membership until [[Slobodan Milošević]] was ousted from the presidency and was admitted on 1 November 2000 ''(see the section [[#Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro (1945–2006)|Former members: Yugoslavia]])''. ===De facto withdrawal of Indonesia (1965–1966)=== {{Main|CONEFO}} [[File:Presiden Sukarno (retouched).jpg|alt=A black-and-white three-quarters view of Sukarno's face|upright=0.6|thumb|[[Indonesia]]n president [[Sukarno]]'s withdrawal in 1965 was the only time a UN member attempted to withdraw; it rejoined a year later.]] Since the inception of the UN, only one member state (excluding those that dissolved or merged with other member states) has unilaterally attempted to withdraw from the UN. During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval. Indonesia's return to the UN would suggest that this is not required; however, scholars have argued that the course of action taken by the General Assembly was not in accordance with the Charter from a legal point of view.<ref>{{cite book| title=Eroding the United Nations Charter| year=1993| last=Blum| first=Yehuda Zvi| publisher=Martinus Nijhoff Publishers| isbn=978-0-7923-2069-2| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=39qvWCYWo5QC}}</ref> ==Observers and non-members== {{Main|United Nations General Assembly observers}} {{See also|Holy See and the United Nations|Palestine and the United Nations|European Union and the United Nations}} ===Observers=== In addition to the member states, there are two [[United Nations General Assembly observers#Non-member observers|United Nations General Assembly non-member observer states]]: the [[Holy See]] and the [[State of Palestine]].<ref name="Gharib">{{Cite news|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/20/u-n-adds-new-name-state-of-palestine.html|title=U.N.

On 22 September 1992, [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 47/1|United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/47/1]] was adopted, by which it considered that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) cannot continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations," and therefore decided that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the General Assembly".

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

It did not apply for membership until [[Slobodan Milošević]] was ousted from the presidency and was admitted on 1 November 2000 ''(see the section [[#Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro (1945–2006)|Former members: Yugoslavia]])''. ===De facto withdrawal of Indonesia (1965–1966)=== {{Main|CONEFO}} [[File:Presiden Sukarno (retouched).jpg|alt=A black-and-white three-quarters view of Sukarno's face|upright=0.6|thumb|[[Indonesia]]n president [[Sukarno]]'s withdrawal in 1965 was the only time a UN member attempted to withdraw; it rejoined a year later.]] Since the inception of the UN, only one member state (excluding those that dissolved or merged with other member states) has unilaterally attempted to withdraw from the UN. During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval. Indonesia's return to the UN would suggest that this is not required; however, scholars have argued that the course of action taken by the General Assembly was not in accordance with the Charter from a legal point of view.<ref>{{cite book| title=Eroding the United Nations Charter| year=1993| last=Blum| first=Yehuda Zvi| publisher=Martinus Nijhoff Publishers| isbn=978-0-7923-2069-2| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=39qvWCYWo5QC}}</ref> ==Observers and non-members== {{Main|United Nations General Assembly observers}} {{See also|Holy See and the United Nations|Palestine and the United Nations|European Union and the United Nations}} ===Observers=== In addition to the member states, there are two [[United Nations General Assembly observers#Non-member observers|United Nations General Assembly non-member observer states]]: the [[Holy See]] and the [[State of Palestine]].<ref name="Gharib">{{Cite news|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/12/20/u-n-adds-new-name-state-of-palestine.html|title=U.N.

On 22 September 1992, [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 47/1|United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/47/1]] was adopted, by which it considered that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) cannot continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations," and therefore decided that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the General Assembly".

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Even after Min Aung Hlaing's transition to the civilian presidency in 2026, the UN has not credentialed his nominee or identified him as the head of state (despite publishing an updated list just three days after his inauguration), with UN Secretary General António Guterres labeling the election process not free or fair. The list still names former president [[Win Myint]] as the current president, despite his lack of participation in any political activity. Even after Win Myint's 2026 release from prison upon being pardoned by Min Aung Hlaing, he has stayed silent on whether he supports the unrecognized opposition [[National Unity Government of Myanmar]] (NUG), which has unilaterally designated him its president without his involvement.<ref name=unseats>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/01/world/americas/united-nations-taliban-myanmar.html |archive-date=2021-12-28 |url-access=limited|title=U.N.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

The Soviet Union also vetoed the applications of [[Jordan]] and [[Ceylon]], stating that it did not believe they were sufficiently independent from the United Kingdom. Starting in September 1949, the Soviet Union began to veto the applications of some neutral countries such as [[Nepal]] as well, stating that it would not admit them until its preferred applicants were also admitted. Both the United States and Soviet Union stated that they were willing to admit each other's preferred applicants, but the United States demanded that Western European applicants be voted on first while the Soviet Union demanded that Eastern European applicants be voted on first. Both superpowers refused to allow multiple applicants to be voted on simultaneously. The impasse continued until the [[Death and state funeral of Joseph Stalin|death of Stalin]] caused a brief [[Khrushchev Thaw|thaw]] in the Cold War.

During the [[Konfrontasi|Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and its [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly, with the UN effectively treating Indonesia's course of action as a "temporary cessation of cooperation" as opposed to a true withdrawal.<ref name="yearbook" /> Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]),<ref name="bolton" /> or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval.

Use of the YYYY-MM-DD format would solve this problem, but with minor exceptions that format is not used in articles (see [[WP:DATEFORMAT]]). This template automatically attaches a "hidden key" to dates, causing them to sort correctly while still being displayed in one of the customary display formats such as ''February 5, 1922,'' or ''5 Feb 1922''. ==Parameters== ===Dates=== {{sticky-header}} {|class="wikitable sticky-header" |- |+The year, month and day can either be entered separately or as a single date. |- ! style="width: 50%;" |{{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''|''day''|''BC''}} ! style="width: 50%;" |{{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''date''}} |- style="vertical-align:top;" | * 1st parameter – Year (optional if month is given) ** Positive numbers (1 to 999,999,999,999) represent years AD or BC (dependant on the fourth parameter). ** Negative numbers (−1 to −999,999,999,999) represent years BC (without the fourth parameter). ** Year numbers must not contain commas or other formatting. * 2nd parameter – Month (optional if the day is not given either) ** Full month name – e.g. February ** Abbreviated month name – e.g. Feb ** Month number – (either zero-padded or not) e.g. 2 or 02 * 3rd parameter – Day (optional) ** Day number – (either zero-padded or not) e.g. 7 or 07 * 4th parameter – (optional) ** May be BC, AD, BCE or CE ** Used with a positive year number | * 1st parameter – the full date ** By default YYYY-MM-DD format becomes month-day-year format and DD-MM-YYYY format becomes day-month-year while other formats remain in the order they are input. ** Abbreviated months are accepted and are abbreviated in the output. ** Capitalisation and comma mistakes are corrected. ** A single number is interpreted as a year, otherwise the date is parsed by the module. The following formats are accepted: *** YYYY-MM-DD *** DD-MM-YYYY *** DD Month YYYY *** Month DD, YYYY *** YYYY-MM *** DD Month *** Month DD *** Month YYYY *** YYYY *** Month ** Day and month numbers may be 1 or 2 digits, and year numbers may only be 3 or 4 digits.

For more information, see {{Section link|Help:Sortable tables|Date sorting problems}}.}} {{COinS safe|n}} {{template shortcut|dts}} {{lua|Module:Date table sorting}} '''Date table sorting''' is used to correctly sort and display dates in a sortable table (see [[Help:Sortable tables]]). ==What it solves== Dates in their customary formats, if simply treated as alphanumeric text strings, sort in nonsensical ways: *1 September 1998 sorts alphanumerically before 5 March 1967, because ''1'' is less than ''5''; *February 5, 1922 sorts alphanumerically before January 3, 1922, because ''F'' comes before ''J''. Use of the YYYY-MM-DD format would solve this problem, but with minor exceptions that format is not used in articles (see [[WP:DATEFORMAT]]). This template automatically attaches a "hidden key" to dates, causing them to sort correctly while still being displayed in one of the customary display formats such as ''February 5, 1922,'' or ''5 Feb 1922''. ==Parameters== ===Dates=== {{sticky-header}} {|class="wikitable sticky-header" |- |+The year, month and day can either be entered separately or as a single date. |- ! style="width: 50%;" |{{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''|''day''|''BC''}} ! style="width: 50%;" |{{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''date''}} |- style="vertical-align:top;" | * 1st parameter – Year (optional if month is given) ** Positive numbers (1 to 999,999,999,999) represent years AD or BC (dependant on the fourth parameter). ** Negative numbers (−1 to −999,999,999,999) represent years BC (without the fourth parameter). ** Year numbers must not contain commas or other formatting. * 2nd parameter – Month (optional if the day is not given either) ** Full month name – e.g. February ** Abbreviated month name – e.g. Feb ** Month number – (either zero-padded or not) e.g. 2 or 02 * 3rd parameter – Day (optional) ** Day number – (either zero-padded or not) e.g. 7 or 07 * 4th parameter – (optional) ** May be BC, AD, BCE or CE ** Used with a positive year number | * 1st parameter – the full date ** By default YYYY-MM-DD format becomes month-day-year format and DD-MM-YYYY format becomes day-month-year while other formats remain in the order they are input. ** Abbreviated months are accepted and are abbreviated in the output. ** Capitalisation and comma mistakes are corrected. ** A single number is interpreted as a year, otherwise the date is parsed by the module. The following formats are accepted: *** YYYY-MM-DD *** DD-MM-YYYY *** DD Month YYYY *** Month DD, YYYY *** YYYY-MM *** DD Month *** Month DD *** Month YYYY *** YYYY *** Month ** Day and month numbers may be 1 or 2 digits, and year numbers may only be 3 or 4 digits. If you need to input a number less than 1000, use leading zeroes (e.g. "0700"). ** BC years can only be parsed if the date is only the year number. ** If you need to include the day or month for BC years or years greater than 9999, you must use separate parameters for year, month and day. |} {{Sticky header}} {| class="wikitable sortable sticky-header" |+ Examples !input style !input code !hidden sort key !visible output {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|span=5|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''}}|1893}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|-89}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|-10000}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|-1}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row| 1}} {{efn|Year 0 does not exist and gives error message}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''month''}}|Oct}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''month year''}}|February 1767}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''day month year''}}|12 Aug 1987}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''month day, year''}}|July 1, 1867}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''day month''}}|25 October}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''month day''}}|Jan 1}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''YYYY-MM-DD''}}|2014-12-09}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''DD-MM-YYYY''}}|15-05-2019}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|span=3|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''}}|1990|10}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|1980|Dec}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|1970|August}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|span=2|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''|''day''}}|2024|Jun|12}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|-204|11|22}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|span=2|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''|''day''|''era''}}|44|3|15|BC}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|94|Oct|17|AD}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}||''month''}}||May}} {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/testcases/row|a={{tlf|code=on|{{BASEPAGENAME}}||''month''|''day''}}||Sep|12}} |} ===Formatting=== Using a format in the {{para|format}} parameter, such as <code>dmy</code>, produces a format that depends on, but is not necessarily equal to the format of the supplied date.
