Permission to speak on a motion to reconsider shall be accorded only to the mover and one other supporter and to two speakers opposing the motion, after which it shall be put immediately to the vote.
当一项提案已获通过或遭否决后，不得在同一届理事会会议期间再度审议，除非经到会的理事会会员投票，多数表决同意重新审议。关于重新审议动议的发言权仅可授予动议人及一名附议者，以及两名反对该动议的发言人，此后应立即将动议付诸表决。

The vote of each Member participating in any roll-call shall be inserted in the summary of decisions of the meeting concerned.
参加任何唱名表决的每一理事国的投票均须在有关会议的摘要决定中加以记载。
If two or more proposals relate to the same question, the Council, unless it decides otherwise, shall vote on the proposals in the order in which they have been submitted.
如果对于同一问题有两个或更多的提案，除非理事会另有决定，否则须按提交提案的先后顺序付诸表决。
If a vote is equally divided, a second vote shall be taken at the next meeting. If this vote also is equally divided, the proposal shall be regarded as rejected.
如果在表决中票数相等，须在下一次会议上进行第二轮表决。如果在该轮表决中，票数仍然相等，提案须被视为遭到否决。
