@pvonhellermannn I feel like the exclusive veto is unreasonable on its face, regardless of how it's been used (I am not disagreeing with the critique of its use). The point of the UN is to have a neutral forum for people to work through their disputes. Giving a subset of those people veto power undermines that purpose. Either everyone should have a veto or no one should.
