Assertion (A): Article 6 of the U.N. Charter provides that a member of the U.N. which had persistently violated the principles contained in the present charter may be expelled from the UNO by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council.
Reason (R): Since expulsion of a member is a substantial question under the Charter, a decision on it will require nine affirmative votes of the Security Council including those of the permanent members and a decision by the General Assembly with two-thirds majority.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Article 6 of the UN Charter allows the General Assembly, on the Security Council's recommendation, to expel a member that persistently violates the Charter's principles, and the voting rules under Articles 27(3) and 18(2) are correctly stated; but those voting requirements describe the procedure and do not explain why expulsion is provided for, so "Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A".
