The United Nations Secretary-General selection of 1950 took place as the Cold War turned hot in the Korean War. The Soviet Union vetoed Trygvie Lie's second term and offered to vote for any other candidate. However, the United States insisted that Lie had to continue in office as Secretary-General, pressuring its allies to abstain on all other candidates. When a Latin American candidate appeared to have enough votes to win, the United States threatened to use its veto for the first time. After a second round of voting with no candidates receiving the required majority, the Security Council informed the General Assembly that it had been unable to agree on a recommendation. The General Assembly then extended Lie's term for three years.

  • 1950年の国際連合事務総長の選出は、朝鮮戦争により冷戦が熱を帯びる中で行われた。ソビエト連邦はトリグブ・リーの再選に拒否権を行使し、他の候補者に投票すると宣言した。しかし、アメリカ合衆国はリーが事務総長を続けなければならないと主張し、他の候補者には棄権するよう圧力をかけた。中南米の候補者が十分な票数を獲得しそうになると、アメリカは国連発足以来初めて拒否権を行使すると脅迫した。2回目の投票の結果、過半数を獲得した候補者はいなかったため、安全保障理事会は総会に対し、勧告の合意ができなかったことを伝えた。総会はリーの任期を3年間延長することを決議した。 安全保障理事会で拒否権が行使されたにもかかわらず、総会が事務総長職を決定したのは、この1950年の選出が唯一の例である。ソ連はこの決定を違法とみなし、リーの当初の任期が満了した時点で事務総長職を空席として扱った。 (ja)

  • The United Nations Secretary-General selection of 1950 took place as the Cold War turned hot in the Korean War. The Soviet Union vetoed Trygvie Lie's second term and offered to vote for any other candidate. However, the United States insisted that Lie had to continue in office as Secretary-General, pressuring its allies to abstain on all other candidates. When a Latin American candidate appeared to have enough votes to win, the United States threatened to use its veto for the first time. After a second round of voting with no candidates receiving the required majority, the Security Council informed the General Assembly that it had been unable to agree on a recommendation. The General Assembly then extended Lie's term for three years. The 1950 selection is the only time that the General Assembly voted on the office of Secretary-General despite a veto in the Security Council. The Soviet Union considered the vote to be illegal and treated the office of Secretary-General as vacant upon the expiration of Lie's original term. The veto has been respected in all future selections. In the 1996 selection, the United States found itself on the losing side of a 14-1-0 vote recommending Boutros Boutros-Ghali for a second term. Although supporters of Boutros-Ghali pointed to the precedent set by the United States in 1950, other members of the Security Council were unwilling to refer the matter to the General Assembly over a U.S. veto. Boutros-Ghali was forced to suspend his candidacy, becoming the only Secretary-General ever to be denied a second term. (en)
