Defining “offensive” here as “not defending against an actual or imminent attack on a NATO member or other internatkonally-recognized state”, the NATO-Yugoslavia war of 1999 would qualify as it was not requested by the UNSC at all. Also Libya was 10-0-5 in the UNSC, with both Russia and China abstaining (P5 abstentions are special, in that they are conventionally construed as negative votes but declination to exercise veto, which is not formally a separate action from a regular no vote.) |

Resolution was about no fly zone, and stopping attacks on civilians. It is a subject of discussion if NATO expanded operation to extra actions.
