If convoked, this will be the 11th Emergency Special Session (ESS) of the @UN#GA in history. The 1st was res/377 (V) “Uniting for Peace” of 1950. This will be the first on #Ukraine
ESS can be convened when the #SecurityCouncil bc of “lack of unanimity of the permanent members” fails its primary resp for the maintenance of intl peace&security in a case where there is a “threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression”. Ref text in reso in blue.
