[edit] UN Security Council Resolutions → UN Security Council Resolution

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)
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)

[edit] 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)

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)

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)
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)
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)
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)


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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

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

[edit] section 1

What on earth does this sentence, in strange English, mean?John Z 10:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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 ?
