Best Answer

An observer state is a state that is not a full voting member of the United Nations General Assembly, but it is sometimes a full sovereign state, or part way to being one, has some form of international recognition and it is allowed to participate in UN debate.

Examples may include the Palestinian Authority or Vatican City.
