Question 6

(A) The Security Council’s five permanent members have the veto power.

(R) If a permanent member abstains from voting it does not amount to a veto.

  1. (R) contradicts (A)
  2. (R) is the reason for (A)
  3. (A) is true but (R) is false
  4. (A) and (R) are independent of each other.
Answer

(A) and (R) are independent of each other.

Explanation — A negative veto, or veto, only occurs when a permanent member is present and votes against a resolution. Therefore, if a permanent member abstains from voting it does not amount to a veto. Hence, the above given statements are both true but unrelated to each other.
