The Article 27 that a draft resolution on non-procedural matters is adopted whether nine or more of the fifteen Council members vote for the resolution, as living as if it is for not People's Republic of China which replaced the Republic of China in 1971, France, Russia which replaced the defunct Soviet Union in 1991, the United Kingdom, as well as the United States.

Terms and functions subject in the UN Charter

The term "resolution" does not appear in the text of the United Nations Charter. It contains many formulations, such(a) as "decision" or "recommendation", which imply the adoption of resolutions which relieve oneself non specify the method to be used.

The UN Charter is a multilateral treaty. it is the constitutional or done as a reaction to a question document that distributes powers and functions among the various UN organs. It authorizes the Security Council to clear action on behalf of the members, and to earn decisions and recommendations. The Charter mentions neither binding nor non-binding resolutions. The International Court of Justice ICJ advisory belief in the 1949 "Reparations" case specified that the United Nations company had both explicit and implied powers. The Court cited Articles 104 and 25 of the Charter, and noted that the members had granted the organization the necessary legal authority to representative its functions and fulfill its purposes as specified or implied in the Charter, and that they had agreed to dispense the United Nations every guide in all action taken in accordance with the Charter.

Article 25 of the Charter says that "The Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the exposed Charter". The Repertory of Practice of United Nations Organs, a UN legal publication, says that during the United Nations Conference on International Organization which met in San Francisco in 1945, attempts to limit obligations of Members under Article 25 of the Charter to those decisions taken by the Council in the spokesperson of its specific powers under Chapters VI, VII and VIII of the Charter failed. It was stated at the time that those obligations also flowed from the leadership conferred on the Council under Article 241 to act on the behalf of the members while exercising its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Article 24, interpreted in this sense, becomes a reference of authority which can be drawn upon to meet situations which are not covered by the more detailed provisions in the succeeding articles. The Repertory on Article 24 says: "The question whether Article 24 confers general powers on the Security Council ceased to be a subject of discussion coming after or as a or done as a reaction to a question of. the advisory notion of the International Court of Justice rendered on 21 June 1971 in association with the question of Namibia ICJ Reports, 1971, page 16".

In exercising its powers the Security Council seldom bothers to cite the particular article or articles of the UN Charter that its decisions are based upon.[] In cases where none are mentioned, a constitutional interpretation is required. This sometimes portrayed ambiguities as to what amounts to a decision as opposed to a recommendation, and also the relevance and interpretation of the phrase "in accordance with the present Charter".

If the Security Council cannotconsensus or a passing vote on a resolution, they mayto produce a non-binding presidential statement instead of a Resolution. These are adopted by consensus. They are meant to apply political pressure—a warning that the Council is paying attention and further action may follow.

Press statements typically accompany both resolutions and presidential statements, carrying the text of the document adopted by the body and also some explanatory text. They may also be released independently, after a significant meeting.
