UN/Vetoes for Israel

Work in progress

The following table lists vetoes cast on proposed UN Security Council resolutions critical of the State of Israel. The USA, being one of the five Permanent Members of the Security Council and thus having the powers of veto on its resolutions, has been in the 'NO' camp on every single one of the resolutions listed. Other Permanent Members have occasionally either voted with the US or abstained. In the vast majority of cases the US has been to sole 'NO' vote.
