  UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supporters of Taiwanese admission to the UN argue that the resolution only asserts that the PRC is the legitimate government of China, but makes no mention of the ROC being an illegimate government, nor of which (if either) is the legitimate ruler of the island of Taiwan (and, presumably, Kinmen, Matsu, and the Pescadores).
This means that Resolution 2758, by recognizing PRC as the sole legitimate government of China in the UN, at the same time discontinued recognition of ROC as the sole legitimate government of China in the UN.
On 29 September 1971, another draft resolution, A/L.632 and Add.l and 2, sponsored by 22 members, was proposed declaring that any proposal to deprive the Republic of China of representation was an important question under Article 18 of the UN Charter, and thus would require a two-thirds supermajority for approval.

 UN General Assembly Resolution 505 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UN General Assembly Resolution 505 is titled Threats to the political independence and territorial integrity of China and to the peace of the Far East, resulting from Soviet violations of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance of 14 August 1945 and from Soviet violations of the Charter of the United Nations.
The UN General Assembly adopted this resolution on 1 February 1952 during its sixth session after the Republic of China complained to the United Nations against the Soviet Union.
The UN General Assembly adopted the Resolution 505 to condemn the Soviet Union with 25 votes for, 9 votes against, and 24 votes abstaining.

UN membership is open to all "peace-loving states" that accept the obligations of the UN Charter and, in the judgment of the organization, are able and willing to fulfill these obligations.
The 1945 UN Charter envisaged a system of regulation that would ensure "the least diversion for armaments of the world's human and economic resources." The advent of nuclear weapons came only weeks after the signing of the Charter and provided immediate impetus to concepts of arms limitation and disarmament.
UN peace operations are funded by assessments, using a formula derived from the regular scale, but including a surcharge for the five permanent members of the Security Council (who must approve all peacekeeping operations); this surcharge serves to offset discounted peacekeeping assessment rates for less developed countries.

 United Nations Security Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1971, the People's Republic of China was awarded China's seat in the United Nations by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, and the Republic of China (which had lost mainland China and was limited to Taiwan since 1949) soon lost membership in all UN organs.
This was the basis for UN armed action in Korea in 1950 during the Korean War and the use of coalition forces in Iraq and Kuwait in 1991.
It is generally agreed that resolutions are legally binding if they are made under Chapter VII (Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression) of the Charter.

In May of 2005, a new national assembly was elected to reduce the number of parliamentary seats and implement several constitutional reforms.
Of the remainder, 41 are elected on the basis of the proportion of nationwide votes received by participating political parties, eight are elected from overseas Chinese constituencies on the same principle, as are the eight seats for the aboriginal populations; members serve three-year terms.
Originally the unicameral National Assembly, as a standing constitutional convention and electoral college, held some parliamentary functions, but the National Assembly was abolished in 2005 with the power of constitutional amendments handed over to the Legislative Yuan and all eligible voters of the Republic.

 The Republic of China and the United Nations, 1995
This resolution was passed overwhelmingly and, as a result, the ROC government, as the legitimate representative of her 21 million people, has both the responsibility and the obligation to realize their expectations.
For example, the General Assembly, convinced that the Franco government of Spain was a fascist regime and an illegitimate representative of the Spanish people, adopted Resolution 39 (I) in 1945, which recommended that the Franco government of Spain be barred from participating in conferences or other activities within the UN system.
This resolution in essence revoked Resolution 39 (I) and recommended that UN specialized agencies should be free to decide for themselves whether or not the participation of Spain in their activities was desirable.

 POSITION PAPER ON R.O.C. PARTICIPATION IN THE U.N., 1994
In 1971, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758(XXVI) and gave the China seat to the PRC.
Resolution 2758(XXVI) of the UN General Assembly is a product of ideological confrontation during the Cold War era, and does not constitute a comprehensive, reasonable and just solution to the question of representation of the Chinese people in the United Nations today.
For instance, in 1950, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 386(V) to revoke its Resolution 39(I) which recommended, inter alia, that the Franco Government of Spain be debarred from membership in UN agencies and from participation in UN activities.

Taiwan began its 11th bid to join the UN as 15 of its diplomatic allies submitted a joint proposal to the body in support of the nation's entry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday.
The proposal also asked the UN General Assembly to include a supplementary item entitled "Question of the Representation of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in the United Nations" on the agenda of its 58th session, slated to begin on Sept. 16.
Although Taiwan has been frustrated by its inability to return to the UN fold since it was expelled in 1971, continuing to bid for access to the UN is essential since it can highlight the country's yearnings for a return to the body, he said.

In this proposal, the 15 allies call on the UN General Assembly to acknowledge the right of the 23 million people of Taiwan to representation in the UN system, and adopt appropriate measures to implement such representation.
In an explanatory memorandum to the aforementioned proposal, it is stated that UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) addressed only the issue of the representation of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the UN and all its related organizations.
As such, it is a wanton violation of the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all other international human rights norms that the 23 million people of Taiwan been deprived of their fundamental human rights to participate in the work and activities of the UN.
