Vetoes, insufficient votes and competing draft resolutions accentuate divisions within the Council
2 April 2022
Since 2000, and especially since 2010, there has been a marked increase in divisive votes in the Security Council,
which reflects the fact that some Council members are now less willing to shield the Council's divisions from
public view. In part, this reflects the polarizing nature of some key items more recently before the Council . . .

Chapter 4: THE COUNCIL CONVENES
Section 3: Agenda and Summary Statement of matters of which the Council is seized
Statement in meetings that the Council “remains seized of the matter” discontinued
Footnote 127 on page 240 of the book states that
“On occasion the President closes a meeting by declaring that the Council remains
seized of the matter. The practice with respect to speaking this phrase is anomalous,
in that it is customary for the President to pronounce this after a resolution has been adopted pursuant to Chapter VII of the Charter and not otherwise, even if a
non-Chapter VII resolution has been adopted which explicitly states that the Council
will remain seized of the matter.”
In the year 2013, this practice became somewhat uneven, as some Presidents spoke the phrase after a resolution had been adopted pursuant to Chapter VII, while other Presidents omitted it. Then, beginning with the Presidency of France in December 2013, the practice was definitively discontinued. Nonetheless, while a President no longer states at the conclusion of a meeting that the Council remains seized of a matter, the practice of including that phrase in resolutions, as appropriate, continues.
