There is debate as to what constitutes a binding UNSC resolution, but it’s generally accepted that a UNSC resolution is binding if it states that there is a threat to or breach of the peace or an act of aggression; and/or the resolution cites Chapter VII of the UN Charter; and the resolution is a “decision” – that is, it includes the word “decide” (as opposed to “recommend,” “condemn,” “demand,” etc.).
