The veto is not absolute. UN General Assembly Resolution 377,[0] also known as the "uniting for peace" resolution, allows the UNGA to act in a special session where the use of a veto in the Security Council means it fails to act. In fact the resolution was invoked by the Security Council yesterday,[1] and in such a procedural vote there is no veto. The special session of the UNGA will be held today at 10:00 New York time (15:00 UTC).[2] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_377 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembl...
