Recognition
Admission of Bangladesh to the United Nations, 1974
Nearly two years after China's veto, the Security Council recommended Bangladesh's admission without a vote, and the General Assembly admitted the People's Republic of Bangladesh, at the same meeting as Grenada and Guinea-Bissau.
What happened
The Security Council, having examined Bangladesh's application for UN membership, recommended without a vote on 10 June 1974 that the General Assembly admit the People's Republic of Bangladesh.[1] The General Assembly did so at its 2233rd plenary meeting on 17 September 1974 — the same meeting at which it also admitted Grenada and Guinea-Bissau.[2]
