The Wikipedia page is called State of Palestine. I know this is controversial, but what was the agreement that brought this "state" into existence? Just asking, I don't mean to start any arguments. Mr Reading Turtle (talk) 17:38, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
Anyway, the relevant Wikipedia articles are United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19 and International recognition of the State of Palestine... AnonMoos (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
I am not sure if this is the correct section but im putting it here because it relates to art, and I apologise If the links are not allowed
My first question is this
Emperors SaGa is a mobile game based on the SaGa series released only in Japan. Tomomi Kobayashi does the art, or prominent character designs, for this series but there is some art in there that is clearly not from her.
Im looking for the name of the artist who made the art that appears on the left card (description: a few characters in black and white) around 3:17. https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31111692
There is some other art throughout the SaGa mobile games, that might be from the same artist ( like this: https://saga.fandom.com/wiki/Subier?file=Subier_%2528Emperors_SaGa%2529.jpg) however I am not sure, and im mostly looking for the former artist.
My second question is this
The credits for the Romancing Saga video games generally list Tomomi Kobayashi as the character desginer. However if you look at her art for Wagnas (https://saga.fandom.com/wiki/Wagnas), which looks like a watercolour drawing, and the art in game, or the sprite if you will, for Wagnas, while derived from Tomomi Kobayashi's drawn design, is clearly different. Who is the person who is making the designs of the characters, ( enemies and such, like Wagnas) as they appear in the game? Im sppseifically seeking names for Romancing SaGa 2 and Romancing Saga 3.

Who makes up the United Nations General Assembly? Is it each country's UN ambassador? United Nations General Assembly#Membership talks about member countries, not the individuals who sit in the seats. 49.198.51.54 (talk) 19:16, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
However you can get disputes over who in the member state is entitled to appoint the delegation. This has came up in recent times with both Myanmar and Afghanistan who are still represented by delegations appointed by the previous governments before a military coup in Myanmar and Taliban succeeded in their civil war in Afghanistan resulted in new de facto governments who attempted to replace these or at least the ambassadors, so far without success. See e.g. [3]
The Afghanistan case has been particularly interesting as due to resignation of the ambassador, there has been dispute over who represents them outside moves by the Taliban to appoint their own representative. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] (Probably partly because the military already had significant involvement in the Myanmar government, early attempts there were simply to replace the ambassador with his deputy but this failed after the deputy resigned. [9] [10]).
As this article mentions [11] there can be a lot of behind the scenes horse-trading etc between competing powers in coming to some sort of consensus. But as I understand it, in theory the United Nations Credentials Committee reports to the UN General Assembly who then vote based in theory on this report [12]. (I'm not sure if the currently recognised representative gets to vote for the country where there is dispute.)
You can of course get dispute over representatives outside of the UN General Assembly e.g. there has been recent controversy over the International Court of Justice and Myanmar. [13] [14] [15]
And just to emphasise the point, probably the most well known case of a dispute over who is entitled to appoint representatives would be China and the United Nations, a founding member and permanent member of the UN Security Council. For over 2 decades, the UN still recognised the Republic of China government rather than the People’s Republic of China government. When this finally changed in 1971, AFAIK there had been little change internally over who controlled what etc for those 2 decades+, however other countries had increasingly recognised the PRC over the ROC, culminating in 1971 with the US finally deciding to do the same. The situation since then has been with that decision and the One-China policy, the ROC have had no place at the UN. (See also Political status of Taiwan.)
