Description
Security Council Resolution 166, adopted on October 25, 1961, recommended Mongolia for membership in the United Nations. Mongolia had sought a seat since 1946, but Cold War bargaining kept its bid blocked for fifteen years. A package deal that year, which also cleared Mauritania, at last let the landlocked Asian state through the council.
The General Assembly admitted Mongolia two days later. The text follows the standard form for new members: the council finds the applicant peace-loving and able to carry out the Charter, then passes the choice to the Assembly. For Mongolia, the vote ended a long wait at the door of world politics.
