Question 37 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2025 • GOVERNMENT • objective

A United Nations resolution is put to a vote in both the General Assembly (GA) and the Security Council (SC). In the GA, 150 member states vote ‘yes', 30 vote ‘no' and 13 abstain. In the SC, the five permanent members (P5) cast the following votes: two vote ‘yes', two abstain and one votes ‘no'. The ten non‑permanent members vote ‘yes' on four occasions and ‘no' on six occasions. For a resolution to be adopted it must obtain a two‑thirds majority of the members present and voting in the GA, and at least nine affirmative votes in the SC with the concurrence of all P5 members (i.e., no veto). Determine whether the resolution is adopted.

Answer Options

Correct Answer B. No, the resolution fails because it does not meet the Security Council requirements.
C. No, the resolution fails because it does not achieve the two‑thirds majority in the GA.
D. Yes, the resolution is adopted despite the P5 dissent, as the non‑permanent members' votes are sufficient.

B
Correct Option:
No, the resolution fails because it does not meet the Security Council requirements.
