Despite more than 9 weeks of Israeli massacres in Gaza, the UN Security Council has been unable to agree on a ceasefire.
The Secretary General invoked a rarely used power to urge the Security Council to act.
But the US blocked it, using its veto power.
Critics say this absolute power of the five permanent members renders the world body helpless.
So, is it time for the veto power to be removed?

Yes, the veto power of permanent members of the UN should be revoked. When one country such as the USA or Israel can prevent a much-needed ceasefire from happening, something is very wrong with how the UN functions. There should be no permanent members of the UN Council, they should have to earn their place according to their record of human rights and humanitarian endeavors. Voting should be passed by the standard of majority rules.

The permanent members of the UNSC already have an excessive power just by having that permanent seat, this in addition to their economic power and influence. The power of veto is absurdly OP. It must be limited, as we see how this veto renders UNSC a totally useless and counter-productive entity in certain cases. There should be more permanent members: India is not represented (being the most populous country in the world), Africa is not represented, Latin America is not represented, the Arab and Muslim countries are not represented. Not only are not represented, they are Ignored.

Yes, Veto power of countries must be revoked ASAP as it's outrageous that just one or few countries can overturn a major decision which will be beneficial for the entire world.

Reason is there was this war where over 60 nations fought across the globe and it changed the world completely, the winners created and funded the institution therefore they make the rules. No nation has to be apart of it, they could even make there own version of it. However the 5 will never give up all there power and redistribute it to all other countries because in the real world we are not all equal and no one cares about your feelings, winning wars and power is what matters.

Without a question. Same is true for the permanent member status. But one must also recognize that without these powers the UN likely would never have been established because no major power wanted to yield to a single organization. Getting them to relinquish this power is incredibly hard, just like the EU getting rid of the unanimous vote requirement for many topics. But realistically, it's all theater anyway: Neither the US nor Russia care about what the UN, or the ICJ, say if it doesn't align with their interests.

I don't think it should be revoked, but there should be limits on it. For example, in order to utilize the veto power, you need to have at least 50% of the members on your side. Or veto can be over turn if 60% of the other members vote against it.

Revoking Vito power must louder! The VITO power in UN is the root cause of Palestinian suffering as it allows certain countries to block actions or decisions that may have otherwise been agreed upon by the majority of the members. This has been a major obstacle to finding a peaceful resolution to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Additionally, the UN could impose economic sanctions on Israel to pressure them into ending the occupation. These sanctions could include restrictions on trade, financial transactions, and investments in Israel. By putting economic pressure on Israel, the UN may be able to compel them to negotiate in good faith and find a resolution to the conflict.
