Source-derived summary

United Nations Security Council Resolution 71 was adopted on 27 July 1949. Asked by the General Assembly under what conditions Liechtenstein might become a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, the Council determined that should Liechtenstein accept the provisions of the Statute, accept all the obligations of a member of the United Nations under Article 94 of the Charter, undertake to contribute to the expenses of the Court and ratify the Statute, Liechtenstein would become a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

The resolution was adopted with nine votes to none; the Ukrainian SSR and Soviet Union abstained from the vote.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“United Nations Security Council Resolution 71” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, United, Nations and Security provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4121477. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1949.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
