Vetoes cast on proposed UN Security Council resolutions critical of the State of Israel since 1972.

These are cases where there has been a single NO vote by just one of the five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council who alone have the power of veto over its resolutions. In every single case, the veto has been wielded by the USA. One or more of the other Permanent Members have occasionally abstained.

In the 50s and 60s, the USSR occasionally vetoed Security Council Resolutions, but only in concert with other Permanent Members.[citation needed]

The USA has used its UN Security Council veto in support of Israel on 42 occasions since 1972

The table shows these resolutions up to, and including, the one vetoed on 18 February 2011 which was written to be in exact alignment with the US's stated position on Israeli settlements.
