Resolution 4 of the UN Security Council was adopted on 29 April 1946th The Security Council condemned the Franco regime in Spain and formed a sub-committee to determine whether Franco's rule was leading to international tension and, if so, what should be done.
poll
The resolution was passed with 10 votes. The Soviet Union abstained. This is the first resolution in the history of the Security Council in which a permanent member abstained. This is important insofar as in the early days of the Security Council it was not clearly clarified whether or not an abstention in the Security Council equals a no-vote and thus a veto. The Soviet representative in the Security Council, Gromyko , who did not publicly support the resolution but wanted it to take effect, stated on the record that he did not want his abstention to be understood under any circumstances as a precedent for the treatment of the abstention of permanent members in the Security Council.
consequences
In Resolution 7 of June 26, 1946, the Security Council dealt with the result of the subcommittee's investigation. This had confirmed all the facts that led to the condemnation of the Franco regime. In Resolution 10 of November 4, 1946, the Security Council finally ended its involvement in the matter and handed over all files to the General Assembly.
