Turkey’s chance to veto Israel
9 April 2010 / AKIF BEKI YENI ŞAFAK,
Israel is getting ready to become a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which is a major international institution.
Even under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Israel, which has been aspiring to become a member of this club for years, to be admitted for membership. It needs to fulfill certain criteria to be a member of this organization, most of whose members are from Western Europe. It is a matter of curiosity which criteria Israel will need to fulfill to become a member of an organization as prestigious as the OECD. Turkey, which is member of the OECD, has a historic opportunity in this respect. In order to admit a new member to the organization, every OECD member needs to approve it. The rejection of a single member is sufficient to refuse membership. So, Turkey can use its right to veto Israel’s membership to the OECD.
