The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is an "official" national liberation movement, meaning that it holds official recognition of its legal status as such from the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the United Nations (UN).[1] It is is the only non-African national liberation movement to hold observer status in the OAU,[2] and was one of the first national liberation movement granted permanent observer status by the United Nations General Assembly pursuant to a 1974 resolution.[3] The PLO also participates in UN Security Council debates, and since 1988, has represented the Palestinian people at the UN under the name "Palestine".[4]
