US Senator Cruz Calls for Recognition of Somaliland

[Garaad Awal]

AI Overview

"Yes, China, as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, has the power to veto resolutions related to the recognition of new countries. This power allows China to prevent any resolution from being passed, regardless of the level of support it has from other UN members.

Here's why and how:

UN Security Council Veto Power:
The UN Charter grants the five permanent members (P5: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) the power to veto any "substantive" resolution, meaning decisions on matters other than procedure.
Admission of New Members:
Resolutions on the admission of new member states to the UN are considered substantive matters, making them subject to the veto power of any of the P5.
China's Vetoes:
China has, on occasion, used its veto power in the Security Council, including situations related to the recognition of new countries or the participation of Taiwan in international bodies according to the US Institute of Peace. For example, China has vetoed resolutions related to extending the mandate of UN missions in countries that recognized Taiwan, according to GOV.UK.
Impact of Veto:
A single veto from any of the P5 can block a resolution, regardless of the overall support for it. This means that even if a large majority of UN members support recognizing a new country, China could still prevent the UN from taking action on it."


It's safe to assume from the above that after the stunt pulled by SL vis a vis Taiwan, SL will not be receiving recognition anytime soon.

You are actually retarded. States can be recognized by other states without being admitted to the UN like Kosovo for example. Too many political illiterates on this forum
