The Security Council Prefatory Remarks
The Security Council discussed a wide range of issues in 1983 The following tables contain a summary of Council voting on issues where unanimity was not achieved and an indication of voting agreement with the United States The tables do not reflect the fact that many issues debated in the Council did not come to a vote In some cases the President of the Council was authorized by the members to make statements reflecting the views of the Council In other cases the Council decided not to take any action Some debates occurred at the request of United Nations member states in other instances the Council discussed reports of the Secretary General without taking further action
In addition many of the issues which came to a vote were not contentious Ten of the twenty resolutions voted on by the Council in 1983 were adopted unanimously Of the resolutions not unanimously approved three cases involved standard Soviet and Polish abstentions on renewals of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and also were not contentious
The most significant votes in the Council were the three draft resolutions which failed because of vetos The vote on the draft resolution comdemning the shootdown of KAL 007 was important because nine Council members voted for the draft forcing the Soviet Union to exercise its first veto since 1980 when it took similar action on a draft resolution on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan The United States vetoed a draft resolution on the intervention in Grenada and one which contained unbalanced and wholesale criticism of Israeli settlement policies The country papers in Section VI describe how individual Council members voted on these issues
