The '' Uniting for Peace'' resolution of the UNO was adopted in

The "Uniting for Peace" resolution of the UNO was adopted in 1950. The resolution was introduced in response to the Soviet Union's use of its veto power in the Security Council to block a resolution regarding the Korean War. The resolution provided a means for the General Assembly to take action in cases where the Security Council was deadlocked due to the use of the veto power. Under the resolution, if the Security Council was unable to maintain international peace and security due to a lack of unanimity among its permanent members, the General Assembly could convene an emergency special session and make recommendations for collective measures to be taken by UN member states.
