Article 19
Article 19 provides that any country that falls two years behind in its dues will lose its vote in the General Assembly.

Famous quotes containing the word article:
“In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
