United Nations Security Council Resolution 14
United Nations Security Council Resolution 14 was adopted on 16 December 1946.
In the resolution, in light of the General Assembly's decision that the terms of elected members of the Security Council were to commence on 1 January and end on 31 December, the Council amended its rules of procedure so that the monthly terms of the rotating presidency of the Council would coincide with calendar months.

The delegation of Australia argued that since the General Assembly had altered the term of office of the non-permanent members to run from 1 January to 31 December, instead of from 17 January to 17 January, some corresponding alteration in the President's term appeared necessary; otherwise, in future years, the Council might reach a situation in which a member who had only concluded half of his term of office as Council President would have to retire on account of the expiration of his term as an elected member.
The resolution was adopted with 9 votes, with abstentions from the Soviet Union and United States.
