Why do the P5 have one veto?

1. The permanent members proposed by President Roosevelt are four postwar police states, namely, the United States, the Soviet Union, China and Britain. Later, at the insistence of Britain, France was added, and these five permanent members had a veto power over the resolutions of the Security Council. The one-vote veto was invented by the Soviet Union when the United Nations was founded, while the United States and Britain adhered to the principle of unanimity among the permanent members.

2. At that time, the Soviet Union, as the only producer among the permanent members of the Security Council, thought that it was politically isolated, so it demanded this veto power in order to give itself an amulet that would not be politically isolated and besieged.

3. It is obvious that these five countries made indelible contributions to World War II at that time and had absolute advantages over other countries, so they can directly promote the adoption of this resolution. In a sense, this right can be said that the ancestors of these five countries exchanged blood and deserved it.

1945 10 10 On October 24th, the Charter of the United Nations was signed in San Francisco, marking the formal establishment of the United Nations. The five permanent members of the United Nations are the United States, Britain, Russian Federation, French and China.

At the founding meeting of the United Nations from 65438 to 0944, the participating countries unanimously agreed that the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Britain and Free France would become permanent members of the United Nations. At that time, the Charter of the United Nations stipulated that any non-procedural resolution must be approved by at least 9 votes of the Security Council 15 members, and none of the five permanent members voted against it. This is the origin of the exercise of the veto by the P5.

The first P5 country to use the veto power in the history of the United Nations was the Soviet Union:1946 February 16, and the Soviet Union used the veto power in voting on Syria and Lebanon.

The absence and abstention of the P5 are not regarded as the use of the veto: in the Korean War, it was because of the absence of the Soviet representative that the United Nations adopted the resolution to send United Nations troops into Korea, so that the newly established People's Republic of China (PRC) was forced to participate in the war. Chinese people's Volunteer Army used his flesh and blood to create a peaceful environment for new China for nearly 70 years.

In the history of veto, the Soviet Union (Russia) used 129 times; The United States used it 83 times; It has been used 32 times in Britain; France used 18 times; Rabbits are the least, only used 13 times: China used the Syrian question four times; It shows that China's layout in the Middle East is very cautious. Of course, countries around the world are very angry at the monopoly of nuclear sanctions and veto power by the leaders of the five major societies.
