I DONT WANT ANY LINK PLZ FULL ANSWER TO MY QUESTION HAND WRITTEN THANX

The following points may help you:

a. Veto power refers to the exclusive privilege of five permanent members of the UN Security council to vote against any substantive resolution . It is a negative vote against the draft resolution.
b. Five permanent members US, UK, Russia, China and France enjoy this power.

It has the following implications:

a.. The veto power gives an additional advantage to the five permanent members of the UN , to stall any decision of the UN.

b. It is argued that it is certainly the most undemocratic instrument which creates a permanent hiatus between the members of UN.
c. It has allowed World powers to wield authority and power and dominate the proceeding of the UN, disregarding the interest of the majority of members who are represented in the General Assembly.
d. Permanent members have used veto to their interests, and not in the interests of the Global community at large, we may give example of how veto power became a tool in the hand of US and USSR during the cold war, where it became difficult to reach at a consensus.
e. Presence of veto power questions the very credibility and legitimacy of UN, and is a hindrance to attain democracy at the global level in an international organisation.
f.Abolishing veto power would be a step towards fair, equal representation to all nation states.
