"A debate on the Veto Power of the Security council - Part 1" By. P. BABU MANOHARAN.

Introduction: Definitely the VETO power enjoyed by the 5 Permanent Members of the Security Council of the United Nations is really the most powerful political power enjoyed  and exercised under the sun as on now. This Veto power has given those 5 permanent Members of the Security Council a special status, strength  and place among the nations of the  world.. The part played those P5 Nations  deserves sincere, serious,  unbiased and balanced scrutiny ,inspection, introspection, dissection and analysis by the residents of the world, basically the Veto power enjoyed by P5 privileged powerful  does not go with the basic principle of democracy.

The Veto Power of the P5 ::  The Veto Power of  the 5 Permanent Member Countries  of the Security Council of the United Nations,  deserves and demands,  a thought provoking thorough study , systematic scrutiny, and  political analysis  in the interest of the whole humanity. Power regulates , power controls , power governs  , power guides , power leads and power saves . Man can not be governed without power , actions of  the countries can not be regularized without power. Man's political wisdom has understood the need for a controlling power in the form of Veto Power. An average man out of ignorance and due to fanaticism  fights with his fellow man and in the same way countries are also fighting with each  other. If  a county's action becomes a direct  or indirect threat to the world peace , then that situation needs a powerful political intervention and this job is done by the security Council's Permanent Member Countries. Our point of order is that only the Permanent 5 Members of the Security Council enjoy and exercise the Veto power, not all the members of the Security Council. While using the Veto Power that single Nation enjoys the power of the entire  rest of the wold  . Why this partiality , what is the justice , purpose and political principle for this peculiar and unique system  of partiality and undemocratic privilege . we need the Veto power but it need to be democratized  and all the members of the Security Council should be given the VETO power . But can we do that ? If so who will do that  and how can it be  done ? these are the vital and crucial questions that deserve wise answers. sharp political approaches  and  right solutions.

All the Members of the Security Council should have Veto Power ? : Of course these Powerful 5 Permanent Members[P5] of the Security Council will not like to share  their prerogative power and privileged status  with the non permanent members of the Security Council  . This is the crux of the problem. definitely on various occasions  the Veto Power used  by these P5 nations have played valuable roles for the cause of global peace .If we analyse both merits and demerits of the Veto Power of the P5 Nations we can boldly and intellectually say that  Veto Power is the most wisest political invention of the greatest political minds. All the members of any Forum should have equal privilege and rights , this is an universal principle and stand , but this universal principle is  not  followed in the Security Council. Then what is use of non Permanent members in the Security Council . According to me all the members of the Security Council should have the Veto Power or else there is no need for  Non- Permanent members in the Security Council.. We need to have a global level intellectual and political debate in this regard.

CONCLUSION : To play a better and meaningful  role for the cause of world security and peace, the newly emerging powerful nations must be made Permanent Members in the Security Council of  UN, for example nations like India and Brazil etc must be accommodated as Permanent Members of the Security Council  . Such type of steps,accommodation and political will ,will strengthen  the Security Council's moral , political  and defensive strength  in many ways. Wise representations , reasonable representations and rightful right  representations of people's power through the representative nations'  participation  in the Security Council, will surely  take the  Security Council of the UN, to new meaningful and peaceful  heights. This political proposal  also needs  a fresh sincere global debate, initiative and  political decision. It is a sensitive, intricate and heavy weight  global  political issue, that can not be easily solved, but we can not say that  it is not at all possible
