What a load of political hooey.In fact, it should be noted that the A/RES/67/19 made note of the 11 November 2011 report of the Security Council Committee on the Admission of New Members, S/2011/705.
Indeed, and self recognition was also made in 1948. Even though recognition was not required of other states, five other states recognized Palestine in 1948. Palestine was recognized as a state during the Mandate period by most states including the US who had a trade agreement with Palestine in 1932.Under International Law [Article 3 - Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States (inter-American); December 26, 1933] specifically states "The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states." Self-recognition was made and recorded in the "Political Communiqué of the Palestine National Council and the Declaration of Independence of 15 November 1988."

ARTICLE 4
States are juridically equal, enjoy the same rights, and have equal capacity in their exercise. The rights of each one do not depend upon the power which it possesses to assure its exercise, but upon the simple fact of its existence as a person under international law.
External interference by greater powers, i.e. military occupation, do not negate the right of a state to exist as a person under international law.
