Egypt and Mauritania have invoked the UN General Assembly Resolution 377 “Uniting for Peace” in a letter to the President of the General Assembly.
The president responded by convening a special session of the assembly to be held on Tuesday.
Adopted on 3 November 1950, the “Uniting for Peace” resolution is meant to allow the 193-member UNGA to act where the Security Council (UNSC)” has failed to exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security”.
It was last used in March 2022, when the UNGA voted to demand that Russia stop its spop in Ukraine and immediately withdraw all troops.
The resolution does allow the UNGA to recommend the use of force but this aspect of the resolution has only been used once, in 1951, calling on states to provide assistance to “the United Nations action in Korea”.
By contrast, the UNSC has the power to impose sanctions or authorise an international force.
