Veto Right at all levels.

The veto right. A reliable stabilizer that ensures the collegial nature of the UN Security Council’s activities, free from violence and dictate.

The veto right is not only one of the most important components of the system of checks and balances, but also a pivotal element of the collective decision-making mechanism – an element that stimulates the members of the Security Council to seek compromises. The veto right is the cornerstone of all UN architecture. Without the veto, the entire UN structure would be unstable.
