The U.S. representatives at the UN, described in section 287, must always follow the President's instructions when representing the United States in UN bodies. Normally these instructions come through the Secretary of State, unless the President directs another way to send them. Following those instructions, the representatives cast all U.S. votes under the UN Charter.
The representatives provided for in section 287 of this title, when representing the United States in the respective organs and agencies of the United Nations, shall, at all times, act in accordance with the instructions of the President transmitted by the Secretary of State unless other means of transmission is directed by the President, and such representatives shall, in accordance with such instructions, cast any and all votes under the Charter of the United Nations.
