Question

Do you think Veto Power is the reason behind inefficiency of UNO?

Answer 1

Answer:

heya mate ☺

The United Nations Security Council "veto power" refers to the power of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) to veto any "substantive" resolution. However, a permanent member's abstention or absence does not prevent a draft resolution from being adopted.[citation needed] This veto power does not apply to "procedural" votes, as determined by the permanent members themselves.

The United Nations Security Council "veto power" refers to the power of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) to veto any "substantive" resolution. However, a permanent member's abstention or absence does not prevent a draft resolution from being adopted.[citation needed] This veto power does not apply to "procedural" votes, as determined by the permanent members themselves. A permanent member can also block the selection of a Secretary-General, although a formal veto is unnecessary since the vote is taken behind closed doors.

The veto power is controversial. Supporters regard it as a promoter of international stability,[1] a check against military interventions,[2] and a critical safeguard against US domination.[3] Critics say that the veto is the most undemocratic element of the UN,[4] as well as the main cause of inaction on war crimes and crimes against humanity, and is rendered mostly useless against notable human rights abuses of larger powers like the United States, China and Russia.[5]
