Blocker resolution

A blocker resolution is a type of United Nations resolution that intentionally was designed to prevent the submission of proposals dealing with similar topics. Though blocker resolutions can be specific or vague, they are usually carefully designed to cover a fair wide range of topics. Typically blocker resolutions are drafted by international coalitions of groups interested in protecting national sovereignty. The debate surrounding blocker resolutions often reveals the exact intent (to block future international legislation) of the resolution, but most blocker resolutions have been successful in making it illegal for UN member states to submit proposals dealing with same topics.

The United Nations Security Act is one example of a blocker resolution.
