Waec Model Questions Vol1 2024 Government Question 38

A United Nations Security Council resolution requires at least nine affirmative votes and the concurring votes of all five permanent members (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States). An abstention by a permanent member is considered a concurring vote, but a ‘no' vote by any permanent member vetoes the resolution. In a particular vote the permanent members voted as follows: China - Yes, France - Abstain, Russia - Abstain, United Kingdom - Yes, United States - Yes. Among the ten non‑permanent members, six voted Yes, three Abstain and one No. Does the resolution pass? If it does not, what is the minimum number of additional ‘yes' votes needed from the non‑permanent members (assuming the permanent members' votes remain unchanged) for the resolution to pass?
