Many policies state that decisions are made by consensus, but the term "consensus" might not be precise enough. Consensus may mean "active consensus" whereby all members actively agree with each other. Consensus may also mean "passive consensus" whereby all members acknowledge and do not object. We may wish to define these terms more precisely and ensure we use these more precise terms instead of the ambiguous "consensus" term.

I think it's the UN Security Council where every member holds a veto, a resolution passes if no-one vetos it?
