Cause democracy is just a word to make you think its all good. Of dems were still for democracy, why did they colonize Ukraine? Why are they forcing governments into one party? 😂 their version of democracy is a scam. Like evangalists using God to get rich. It ropes you in so you support them. They prey on your sympathy so they make you feel guilty and agree to their terms.
You are WRONG.The UN is largely funded by governments. Almost three-quarters (72%) of total UN revenue in 2019 came from direct government contributions. 58% of total UN funding originated from the 29 UN Member States that are OECD-DAC members. In 2019, 15% of total UN revenue came from multilateral channels, much of which is indirect government investment via funds, international financial institutions and European Union institutions. UN funding from non-state actors remains relatively small (US$ 2.9 billion in 2019) but growing, especially from the private sector.
The difference between Russia and Ukraine is that they share a border not thousands of miles from its territory, and Russia complied with UN humanitarian issues. We aren't seeing Russia's soldiers on tiktok proudly committing crimes. There's a difference.
I'm ues U do, videos of Russian solidiers are public committing atrocities. And this argument of miles between us stupid. The fact Russia uses its veto power to allow itself to commit atrocities is just a bad. The fact U can't admit that shows how niave you are
Fifty, plus More countries do not have the collective population of just China and India alone and each has only one vote in the UN. So what are we talking about. This implies that for Qarter's one vote in the UN there should be a thousand each for countries like the two aforementioned? That is what veto power is all about. Yes, that a national population of less than a million is not the same with that which is more than a billion.
Sadly if there were no permanent members there would be no UN. The veto was literally a way to get the great powers to agree to form a UN in the first place or at least keep it post ww2. No superpower is going to allow a group of weak countries to dictate to it. No veto means the first ruling a great power disagrees with means the end of the UN.

Something you may want to investigate. There is an interesting correlation between two major wars and the US booming economy. Is the US the biggest supplier of weaponry in both the war by Russia in Ukraine and the war by Israel in Gaza? If so, is it possible that the booming economy in the US is linked to supplying weaponry in these wars? People have to get paid to work in the weaponry business. People who get paid have money to spend. A low unemployment rate is linked to a booming economy. Money gets to circulate. In my opinion, the relationship between two tragic wars and the healthy US economy is worthy of investigation.
If Al Jazeera got to choose the 5 permanent members of the security council: Qatar, Palestine, Iran, south africa and Nicaragua 😅 And the first assignment would be to free Palestine from the river to the sea..
The veto power does not unite nations but divide nations because the majority Nations can just 8:59 talk and talk and vote. The world vote will not count because the American veto will count and be implemented. The veto protects the interests of the US.
Thank you very kindly greatly appreciated - you are definitely doing a great job on Behalf of the Palestinian people Al Jazeera, you are awesome God bless you beyond
An alternative system would be virtually impossible. A resolution without the power to be enforced is meaningless. Even if the US doesn't have veto power, it would still go its own way and exercise military might. That could potentially invalidate the UN and post ww2 order. It'd take considerable amount of creativity if anyone can come up with a solution.
The veto power for a few countries should be stripped off. The USA has been abusing this power big time. The UN should find a way to remove the veto power from all 5 countries.
UNSC should be a privilege granted to nations to serve on. Once a nation breaks international law, they are kicked off the UNSC for x years (based on the severity of the crime) and permanently lose their permanent status if they had it. The nation should also have to meet other moral requirements (like be a party to the ICC, Genocide convention, etc)
No country should have the right of veto. They can have the right to vote against something, but that should never be allowed to be a veto. Every country should be a permanent member state, not just the ones with the biggest weapons arsenal.

Qatar, Palestine, Iran, south africa and Nicaragua 😅
And the first assignment would be to free Palestine from the river to the sea..
Ah...shoot the messenger and miss the point altogether. Surely a zionist
Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, as is their birthright, and lies can't stop it forever.
Al Jazeera and all these delegates didn’t say anything when Russia was vetoing all the resolutions brought up during Ukraine Russia war
There should be no veto power change the veto rights !!!
This programme is something that I wait for a day. Great knowledgeable discussion.
😄 It’s silly propaganda from Qatar, a known sponsor of terrorism.
The general assembly should have the final say, that is democracy and not a useless security council.
Well said, it would be easy to make the UNSC consists of 3 members, US,UK and Israel, instead of any reform.
Then the rest of the world will scamper out and set up a new UN elsewhere. Leaving US, UK and Israel in a very big and echo-y chamber.
100% agree.
Remember the outrage when Russia vetoed the resolution against Russia? This is no different!
Temporary ceasefire?
If 1 veto should not be counted otherwise what is the point to have as United Security Council
The question in the title is funny to me
The veto power does not unite nations but divide nations because the majority
Nations can just 8:59 talk and talk and vote.
The world vote will not count because the American veto will count and be implemented.
The veto protects the interests of the US.
US is telling what the United Nations must do .. obey or else ...
United Nations do what is needed to stop this kind of action
They always have, that's simply an ignorant question.
Yes why even ask
They definitely need to make a change on how many times or 1 veto paralyzing everyone.
Thank you very kindly greatly appreciated - you are definitely doing a great job on Behalf of the Palestinian people Al Jazeera, you are awesome God bless you beyond
An alternative system would be virtually impossible. A resolution without the power to be enforced is meaningless. Even if the US doesn't have veto power, it would still go its own way and exercise military might. That could potentially invalidate the UN and post ww2 order. It'd take considerable amount of creativity if anyone can come up with a solution.
That would be equally damaging to the US, who will have shown themselves once and for all a party who cannot, in any circumstance, be relied upon
@@halofreak1990then align to their terms and it will be more consistent
The veto power for a few countries should be stripped off. The USA has been abusing this power big time. The UN should find a way to remove the veto power from all 5 countries.
Why is this even a question?
America should kick out from un member
UNSC should be a privilege granted to nations to serve on. Once a nation breaks international law, they are kicked off the UNSC for x years (based on the severity of the crime) and permanently lose their permanent status if they had it. The nation should also have to meet other moral requirements (like be a party to the ICC, Genocide convention, etc)
The United Nations vote is undemocratic.
The world norm is that the majority vote counts.
