Question 10 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2020 • GOVERNMENT • objective

During a United Nations Security Council meeting, a resolution receives 12 votes in favour, 0 votes against and 3 abstentions. All five permanent members vote in favour. The resolution is therefore adopted (it meets the requirement of at least nine affirmative votes and no veto). Afterwards, two of the permanent members change their votes from ‘in favour' to ‘abstain', and three of the non‑permanent members who had voted in favour change their votes to ‘abstain'. After these changes, does the resolution remain adopted? If it does not, state the minimum number of abstaining members who must change their votes to ‘in favour' for the resolution to be adopted.

Answer Options

A. Yes, the resolution remains adopted since abstentions do not count against the required nine affirmative votes.
B. No, the resolution is still adopted because the total of favourable votes remains at nine despite the changes.
Correct Answer C. No, the resolution is no longer adopted because favourable votes fall to 7. At least two abstaining members must change to ‘in favour' to reach the required nine affirmative votes.
D. No, the resolution is no longer adopted because favourable votes fall to 7. At least three abstaining members must change to ‘in favour' to reach the required nine affirmative votes.
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
No, the resolution is no longer adopted because favourable votes fall to 7. At least two abstaining members must change to ‘in favour' to reach the required nine affirmative votes.
