      So the only way to get the big guys to the table is by giving them the option to have it their way by force

      I know that there are pro’s and cons to this but IMO its too much power

      Critics say that the veto is the most undemocratic element of the UN,[5] as well as the main cause of inaction on war crimes and crimes against humanity, as it effectively prevents UN action against the permanent members and their allies.[6]
