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?

It turns out it happened at least twice in relation to Namibia and respectively South Africa, as a 1975 report says
The mailing says the USA, Britain and France today exercised their veto power in the United Nations Security Council in behalf of South Africa and against an assertion of UN rights in Namibia and of the rights of the Namibian people to their freedom and independence; the big three teamed together again - as they did on 30 October 1974 when they thwarted South Africa's expulsion from the UN - to cast the second triple veto in the history of the world body; the three Western permanent members rejected a mandatory arms embargo
A 2014 article mentions there were 13 triple vetoes and 16 double ones, without further details.
