The veto power, conferred by UN Charter Article 27(3), allows any one of the five permanent members--the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, China, or France--to block a substantive resolution being voted on within the Council by casting a negative vote. Both in the past, and today, permanent members use, or have used, their veto power to block resolutions, including those designed to curtail or alleviate the commission of atrocity crimes, with dire consequences sometimes resulting on the ground." $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a United Nations. $b Security Council $x Voting. 610 27 $a United Nations. $b Security Council. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00545731 650 0 $a International criminal law. 650 0 $a Atrocities $x Law and legislation. 650 7 $a Atrocities $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01909249 650 7 $a International criminal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01784719 650 7 $a Voting registers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169261 776 08 $i Online version: $a Trahan, Jennifer, $t Existing legal limits to Security Council veto power in the face of atrocity $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY, USA Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108765251 $w (DLC) 2019058611 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018013155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=02E879949F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
