UN Security Council Resolutions → UN Security Council Resolution

Untitled

Greater consistency with Wikipedia naming conventions; consistency with article on UN General Assembly Resolution -- Ian 22:31, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Support, however This is mostly a list of Security Council Resolutions, I would suggest the move as presented, trimming the list to notable resolutions (if it is felt appropriate), and creating a new article at List of UN Security Council Resolutions (currently a redirect) with a full list. --Neo 14:35, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Alternate suggestion: Move to List of UN Security Council Resolutions. The vast majority of all links to the current article (which is indeed just a list) go through that article, which is currently a redirect. UN General Assembly Resolution should also be moved to List of UN General Assembly Resolutions. These articles currently do not contain what the user would expect--an explanation of the relevant procedures. They are lists. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:57, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hey to those interested in this page, there is at least one resolution which should definitely be included but isn't. It's that famous resolution where during the cold war the Russians were angry with the functioning of the council and absented themselves from proceedings as a gesture of protest. While absent the US seized the opportunity to pass a resolution authorizing force in some conflict, I think Vietnam, and ever since the Russians have never absented themselves.

actually i think it was the korean war -- iosef

Correct, it was Korea, and the SCR was United Nations Security Council Resolution 84 Buckshot06(prof) 06:08, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resoultions list

On the main page the resolutions are listed from lowest number to highest number, however on the seperate pages detailing all the resolutions [1], they are listed in reverse order (100, 99, 98.. 1), surely these lists should be changed, as the page is called 1 to 100 not 100 to 1? Rob.derosa 13:41, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - I can't imagine why they were created in descending order as it's completely counter-intuitive, and now I'm not sure how to approach fixing them. I left a note on User_talk:Kingturtle since he created them. --Ruyn 23:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it'd be best to list them chronologically, so rather than changing the name of the pages, the contents have to be changed. There is no sense in listing them in reverse order! Cheers for putting the note up Rob.derosa 05:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I do not yet know how to reverse the chronological order. I will stop filling the blanks while thinking.--Jusjih 08:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought of a fast way to reverse the chronological order. I will start from the earliest resolutions. For the latest ones, I can think of no reasons to have too many blanks for resolutions not yet adopted.--Jusjih 11:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reversion has been completed. List of UN Security Council Resolutions 1701 to 1800 will no longer show too many blanks for resolutions not yet adopted on the top.--Jusjih 12:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am in need of the data shown on these pages, but sadly the list is not complete... I am looking for a few fields, which luckily are covered on Wikipedia for a few of the resolutions... they include the votes, the countries the resolution affected on, the data of the resoulution and the topic? Can someone help me gather this data for all the 1600+ resolutions? Moizsyed 07:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC) moizsyed[reply]

On the long resolutions list pages each resolution should have a link to the actual UN text. Doyna Yar (talk) 04:04, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolutions have no titles

UN Dag Hammarskjold Library says: "Security Council resolutions can only be identified, apart from the document symbols assigned to them, by the subjects to which they relate since they do not carry individual titles." Therefore, complications of the resolutions at the UN website may be copyrightable.--Jusjih 07:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "Notable Security Council Resolutions"

I think it's a good idea to remove this section, because there are in my opinion simply too many notable resolutions, and because it will always be POV to chose certain resolutions above others (for instance: there is currently a post-Cold War bias and a Western bias: resolutions which are of interest to the West (Israel, Iraq, Iran, Korea, Darfur,...). I think that the list of resolutions and the resolution articles are the best place to discuss particular resolutions, not this page. Sijo Ripa 23:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clusters of resolutions

I don't think holding each resolution by number on a separate pages is encyclopedic. It seems natural until you've read a lot of them and seen how they're used. The main cases in point are when they're used and referred to as a pair, eg and United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 and United Nations Security Council Resolution 678, where the second gave force to the first; or to routinely extend the mandate of some intervention as with Resolution 1697(2006); or to repeatedly modify and fix the operations of a regime (see United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267). I would like to see separate encyclopedic articles like the one for 1267 covering these instances, and to have the individual resolution pages redirect to them or to the relevant subsections. Thoughts? Goatchurch 10:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What would the natural names of the articles for these clusters be? Francis Irving 10:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a start name it after the first and link the modifying ones back to it, like in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267. Then later on it could be subsumed into some supporting article such as Security Council Resolutions relating to Oil For Food Program.Goatchurch 00:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uncompliance with UNSC Resolutions

Has UN Security Council ever taken any punitive action against UN member states for failing to comply with legal binding UNSC resolutions made under Chapter VI of UN Charter ?

Siyac 11:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The writer means non-compliance with chapter 7 resolutions. Typos?

The press and politicians are all to often saying that GA resolutions are international law. Clearly they are not. Chapter 6 resolutions are recommendations and have no legal status. Only SC chapter 7 resolutions are enforceable by sanction or war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.30.13.105 (talk) 14:23, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

section deleted

The section on consequences for violation of resolutions, and wars started by them, was deleted just now. i was going to revert, but i noticed it wasnt referenced, and really should be. so i wont touch it at this time, even though it looks like an otherwise unconstructive edit (no reason given for the edit). if i return and find references for the section, i will restore it, or partly restore it.

Problem with the list, it only lists passed resolutions

I've gone through half of them and none of the well known vetoed resolutions are in. I understand that this is due to the way that only passed ones are recorded. But for the sake of neutrality and historic research those not adopted should be listed as well, inbetween those that were adopted.

Found a good compilation: http://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/102/40069.html Still not 100% reliable as there could in theory be a proposal that passed the 5 permanent members but wasn't supported by the others. If anyone would be interested I'd be willing to form a group to work on this but I need help.37.123.149.65 (talk) 05:03, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody that agrees? In my view this article presents a really biased picture and almost distorts the purpose of the UN which is discussion and sometimes disagreement. 37.123.149.65 (talk) 13:39, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Split discussion in progress

There is a split discussion in progress on Talk:List of United Nations resolutions concerning Israel and Palestine, which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. GreyShark (dibra) 19:38, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An article for every resolution?

I notice that most (if not all) of the UN Security Council resolutions have their own articles, many of which are a single sentence long (e.g. here and here) and/or are wholly unsourced (e.g. here). Wouldn't it be better for these to be redirects to the appropriate list? Armadillopteryx^talk 11:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. A redirect would work if the text were included in the list. It's useful to have the text and a related discussion available for the rest, however. – SJ + 03:47, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting by session rather than by 100 resolutions?

Right now the list of resolutions is split up by resolution number, in groups of 100. This randomly divides the series of resolutions without consideration of the year or UN session, or the changing SC membership. It may make more sense to split this up by year, or to section the existing pages by year, so the result is more readable. – SJ + 03:49, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
