It logically follows that the "non-binding" UN Migration Compact will restrict human rights and freedoms.

 

> The United Nations Security Council "veto power" refers to the power of the permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States) to veto any "substantive" resolution. A permanent member's abstention or absence does not prevent a draft resolution from being adopted. This veto power does not apply to "procedural" votes, as determined by the permanent members themselves.

 

Is the ratification of the Marrakesh compact "substantive" or "procedural"?

 

Can the US veto?
