The UN General Assembly ( UNGA ) will meet on Tuesday to discuss the US vetoing an amendment to a UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution on December 22.
The amendment, proposed by Russia, would have added a clause calling for “an urgent suspension of hostilities” to a humanitarian resolution that the 15-member council adopted later that day.
The 193-member UNGA can convene a formal meeting within 10 working days of a veto being cast by a permanent member of the UNSC.
