The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon informed members of General Assembly of the organization about deprivation of a vote of 15 countries. The reason was the debt of member fee for the budget of the organisation.
According to Associated Press, the countries will be able to get permission to vote only when representatives of the countries will be able to prove that "the fee wasn't paid bacuase of relaible circumstances" or when to pay a debt.
The list of debtors included such countries as Libya, Bahrain, Mali, Marshall Islands, Vanuatu, Dominican Republic, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Burundi. Also, in the list, there was also Venezuela which has to pay $3 million to General Assembly till February of the current year.
Besides, this list included Iran, but the authorities of this country managed to pay straight after the announcement of the statement of Ban Ki-moon.
For the record, these countries will be able to vote only under exceptional circumstances.
