  1. In reality the veto power of 5 countries is a violation of the equality of countries under the UN Charter.  There shall be no powerful countries given special treatments in the UN.  All member countries must be equal.


  2. The US, UK, Russian Fed, P.R. China and France deserve their veto power, because it wouldn't be fair for a country as powerful/rich/etc. as the us to have the same power as ghana. (of course the veto is in the Security Council only, where the most important issues are discussed. But, you knew that) Anyhow decisions of that caliber need support of the 5 most powerful nations in the world.

  3. Not really... Those group of five are the ones that have the largest sphere of influences in the world... So giving them veto, is like dividing the planet among those 5...

  4. actually i don't think its legitimate to have veto i know that big countries like the us and France cant come under the same category that includes Mali or Mauritania for example but some of those big countries is ignoring the fact that right is power and power ain't  right cuz they r calling Veto on every decision that might affect their interests or them allies interests in a bad way whither they r right or wrong and that is the reason why we have a world full of hatred and animosity

  5. This was set up after World War II, and in my opinion an antiquated way of doing things. If we want to bring more equality into the world, we need to stop this practice.
