UN Security Council Resolution

A United Nations Security Council resolution is a decision made by the 15-member Security Council, adopted by an affirmative vote of at least 9 members, with the exception of procedural decisions that can be made by a simple majority. The five permanent members of the Security Council (China, France, Russia, UK, and the US) have veto power over all resolutions except procedural ones. According to the UN Charter, UN member states are bound to carry out decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the Charter, and resolutions are considered legally binding, although there is some debate over the distinction between resolutions adopted under Chapter VI and Chapter VII of the Charter.learn more on wikipedia
