World Without Veto ? !
I join my voice to those who wish to live in a world where all people are equal under the law, and all nations are represented justly under international law; a world which has no place for VETO.
The world is still suffering from war, poverty and environmental pollution. The United Nations, being the institution representing the international community of nations, has not been able to confront these problems effectively.
The Security Council is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security; therefore serious conflicts are put before it. The Security Council is not a court of low, nor an elected parliament, it consists of 15 countries. While 5 are permanent the other 10 are to be replaced regularly.Any country among the five permanent members of the Security Council has the power to unilaterally veto any resolution put before the council, irrespective of reason or consequence, even if all other members of that council voted in favor of the resolution.
Logically, the Security Council is incapable of issuing serious resolutions or even revoking stances against any veto holding member. Furthermore, any resolution it dose pass is formulated to avoid 5 possible vetoes. Logically again, this would deprive all resolutions of any possible objectivity. Justice simply works not this way. Through individuals, groups, intellectuals, prophets and reformers, humankind has struggled and made many sacrifices over centuries, thereby managing to give birth to social structures where a judicial system settles disputes impartially between and among individuals in a given society.
