Question

Wired Faculty App

What is Veto Power and why its abolition is opposed?

Solution

In taking decisions, the Security Council proceeds by voting. All members have one vote. However, the permanent members can vote in a negative manner so that even if all other permanent and non-permanent members vote for a particular decision, any permanent member’s negative vote can stall the decision. This negative vote is the Veto.

The permanent members do not agree to abolish or modify the Veto system because if abolished or modified, the great powers would lose interest in the UN and they would do what they pleased outside it, and that without their support and involvement the body would be UN ineffective.
