    Please also get rid of the Security Council Veto.

    Better yet get rid of the Security Council all together and do everything in the General Assembly. With the 2 thirds majority requirement for passing items.

      League of Nations was bold from time to time. That didnt help. The UN, the security council and the veto rights is all about maintaining the status quo.

      UN votes are largely symbolic, they have no actual policy function in almost all cases - member states must create and ratify separate treaties for that.

      Removing the veto just leads to the veto-holders even more flagrantly undermining the UN’s authority.
