Peacekeeping Operations — Amendments

Amendment	Year	Description	Impact
Uniting for Peace Resolution (GA Resolution 377)	1950	While not a Charter amendment, this General Assembly resolution established the principle that when the Security Council fails to act due to veto, the General Assembly can recommend collective measures including peacekeeping operations. This resolution provided alternative authorization mechanism for peacekeeping when P5 consensus is lacking.	Created precedent for General Assembly involvement in peace and security matters, though rarely used for peacekeeping authorization. Influenced development of peacekeeping doctrine and provided legal basis for operations like UNEF I during Suez Crisis.
