Is an approval of the United Nations Security Council and its permanent members necessary to establish a Parliamentary Assembly?

Approval of the Security Council or its permanent members would only be required if the procedure to establish a Parliamentary Assembly involved an amendment of the United Nations Charter. If an assembly is set up as a subsidiary body by a vote of the UN General Assembly under Article 22 of the United Nations Charter or on the basis of a new international treaty between governments, this would not be the case.
