UN members agree to accept and carry out the Security Council’s decisions. Most decisions need nine votes, including the concurring votes of the five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States), so any one of them can block a resolution with a veto. A General Assembly vote, by contrast, is a recommendation rather than a binding order.
An armed attack on one ally is treated as an attack on all, but each member responds with “such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force”. The treaty leaves the form of help to each government rather than committing troops automatically. NATO has invoked Article 5 once, after the attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001.
In the UK, financial sanctions such as asset freezes apply to the people and companies formally designated, and they are implemented by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, part of HM Treasury. A government statement that sanctions are coming is not the same as a designation: check whether named people or entities have been added before treating a reported package as in force.
