The Security Council is composed of five permanent members and ten non-permanent members that are elected by the General Assembly with a two-year term.
The five permanent members that are the Veto Powers are: China, Russian Federation, France, United Kingdom, and the United States. The veto powers are able to veto any resolution in the Security Council, meaning that if any of those powers say NO, the resolution does not pass, does not matter if the rest of the members in the committee say yes, just one opposing vote from one of the veto power is what it takes to reject a resolution.
What do you guys think about the Veto Powers? Do you think that is right to have them or not?
