Question

what steps can the un security council take when a country tests nuclear missiles?○ it can ask the international court of justice for permission to impose economic sanctions, then intervene with peacekeeping troops.○ it can pass a resolution condemning the action, then impose a series of economic sanctions against the offending country○ it can pass a resolution condemning the action, then ask the general assembly for permission to overthrow the government.○ it can send in troops to overthrow the government, then ask the international military tribunal to prosecute the leaders for war crimes.

Explanation:

The UN Security Council has the authority to pass binding resolutions condemning violations of non-proliferation norms. It can then impose targeted economic sanctions on the offending country without needing prior permission from the ICJ or General Assembly for these steps. Overthrowing a government is not a standard or authorized step for the Security Council in this context, and deploying troops unilaterally to overthrow a government is outside its typical mandate for such scenarios.

Answer:

It can pass a resolution condemning the action, then impose a series of economic sanctions against the offending country
