The UN has obviously been more successful than the League of Nations created at the end of the WWI. This is highlighted by the mere fact that the UN is now alive for 59 years. But still, the UN has failed to maintain peace in many international situations and a lot of times, the UN can't pass a resolution just because one of the permanent members have vetoed the resolution. (Note: I am not making reference to any particular permanent member but to all permanent members in general.) Do you think that it is about time that the veto power is taken away from the permanent members and it is replaced with something more practical like a super majority of say 66% or 75% or any other ratio of members. Do you think the UN will survive without the superpowers having their veto right? |
