The UN Security Council requires at least nine affirmative votes and no veto from any of the five permanent members (P5) for a resolution to pass. In a particular vote, four P5 members vote in favour, one P5 member abstains, six non‑permanent members vote in favour, two abstain and two vote against. Does the resolution pass? If the abstaining P5 member had instead voted against, would the outcome be different? Explain.

Answer Options

A. Passes; it would still pass even if the abstaining P5 member voted against because a veto is not triggered by a negative vote.
Correct Answer B. Passes; it would fail if the abstaining P5 member voted against because a veto would be triggered.
C. Fails; it would fail regardless of the abstaining P5 member's vote because there are not enough affirmative votes.
D. Fails; it would still pass even if the abstaining P5 member voted against because there would still be enough affirmative votes.
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Passes; it would fail if the abstaining P5 member voted against because a veto would be triggered.
