A resolution proposing the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping force to a volatile region is put to a vote in the Security Council. One of the Permanent Five (P5) members casts a negative vote, citing national security concerns related to the region. What is the most immediate and direct consequence of this P5 member's action?

Accepted Answer

B. The resolution fails to pass, effectively preventing the deployment of the peacekeeping force under the proposed mandate. — The veto power held by each of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council means that a single negative vote from any of these members can block the adoption of any substantive resolution, regardless of the number of affirmative votes. Therefore, the proposed peacekeeping mission cannot proceed under that specific resolution. The UN General Assembly does not have the authority to override a Security Council veto, nor is there a mechanism for the ICJ to review the legality of a P5 veto.

Answer

A. The resolution is then referred to the UN General Assembly for a final decision by a two-thirds majority.

Answer

C. The other four P5 members can jointly appeal to the International Court of Justice to review the legality of the veto.
