I was under the assumption that the next resolution would not have the super veto. I thought each of the 15 countries on the Security Council would have a vote - Yes, No or Abstain.

We need nine votes in the Security Council for a new resolution. The US, UK, Spain and Bulgaria are definite yes. China, Russia and France are thought to abstain. Germany and Syria are no's. If the below article is correct then we will get Chile, Angola, Cameroon and Guinea. No way Pakistan will vote yes. So that leaves Mexico. I would like to think Mexico would vote with the US

Nope - it's a Security Council action, which provides veto authority to any/each of the five permanent members (the original Nuclear Club) for every vote.
