United Nations Security Council Resolution 121, adopted unanimously on December 12, 1956, after examining the application of Japan for membership in the United Nations, the UN Security Council recommended to the General Assembly that Japan be admitted. The United States first invited Japan to join the UN in 1955 but their admission was vetoed by The Soviet Union in protest of the Republic of China vetoing membership for the Mongolian People's Republic as a part of a 18 nation membership nomination process. The USSR proposed a second resolution to admit both Mongolia and Japan together; the draft resolution was voted upon with only the USSR in favor, and the 10 other members abstaining.[1]
