It's reasonably well known that some UN Security Council resolutions were vetoed by two permanent members. Recent examples include Russia and China jointly vetoing resolutions on Syria, but there are much older "traditions", in this respect, e.g. the very first US veto (on Southern Rhodesia) was jointed with that of the UK.
But were any UN resolutions (or other matters) that were triple-vetoed by the permanent members?
