    It's past time to get rid of the veto! It's a hangover from the UN's formation that is well past its use-by date. The UN is, or should be, much more than just the "major powers"—China, France, Russia, the UK, and the USA—and those countries, permanent members of the Security Council or not, should not be able to override the wishes of the majority of members countries of the UNSC.

    But then, true democracy has always been a fantasy, I guess. Nobody with power wants to let the little countries actually have a say.

  2. US blocks UN Security Council demand for humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza

    The United Nations voted in favour of a ceasefire in Gaza. The decision was clear: 121 voted for, 14 voted against, and 44 abstained.
    But a few minutes ago, the United States used their power of veto to override the vote.

    I support the United Nations Security Council's call for a ceasefire in the Israel / Palestine war in Gaza, and am horrified that the USA is blocking the humanitarian efforts of most of the rest of the world.
