Research the use of the veto by the five permanent members of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. The UN website at www.un.org does not keep detailed veto records; however, you can find veto information at http://globalpolicy.igc.org/security/.
a. In the history of the UN, how many times has each permanent member vetoed a resolution brought before the Security Council?
b. For what reasons has the United States used its veto in the recent past?
c. The veto power of the permanent members has been criticized. What are the three main criticisms of the permanent members’ veto power?
d. Create a weighted voting system for the 15 Security Council members that is, in your opinion, a fairer distribution of power. Describe the requirements for a resolution to pass and explain what would cause a resolution to fail. Identify all members who have veto power. Consider two recent failed resolutions and determine whether they would have failed under your weighted voting system.
