On April 27, 2022, The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution (to be posted once published at: https://www.un.org/en/ga/76/resolutions.shtml [3]) that requires the General Assembly to meet every time a veto is used by the Security Council. Speaking [4] on the resolution at the Assembly’s meeting, Ambassador Christian Wenaweser stated, “[t]he draft resolution before the Assembly today creates a standing mandate for the Assembly to be convened automatically, within ten working days, every time a veto has been cast in the Security Council.” The resolution is said to be an expression of a  “commitment to multilateralism with [The United Nations General Assembly] and its principal organs at the forefront.”
