When the 'Uniting for Peace' resolution was adopted by the UN General Assembly ?

  • A.1961
  • B.1951
  • C.1950
  • D.1952

Answer: C

The 'Uniting for Peace' resolution was adopted in 1950.

Resolution 377 (V) was passed by the UN General Assembly on 3 November 1950, during the Korean War, after Soviet vetoes had blocked the Security Council. It provides that if the Council, for lack of unanimity among the permanent members, fails to act on a threat to peace, the General Assembly may consider the matter at once and recommend collective measures, meeting in emergency special session within 24 hours if necessary.

1951, 1952 and 1961 are not the year of its adoption, though it was later invoked several times, for example in the Suez crisis of 1956.
