United Nations Security Resolution

The United Nations Security Council is a 15-member body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It adopts resolutions, which are decisions made by a vote of nine members, with the five permanent members having the power to veto any resolution except purely procedural ones. The Charter of the United Nations specifies that all member states are bound to carry out the decisions of the Security Council, and the International Court of Justice has ruled that all Security Council resolutions are legally binding. However, there is debate over whether resolutions adopted under Chapter VI of the Charter are non-binding, with the Repertory of Practice of United Nations Organs suggesting that all obligations under Article 25 of the Charter, including those not specifically mentioned in Chapters VI, VII, and VIII, are binding.learn more on wikipedia
