Bagi yang tidak percaya Hak Veto ada dalam Piagam PBB bisa baca dibawah yang diambil dari website PBB. Kalau mau lihat keseluruhan klik UN Charter dalam bahasa Inggris atau Piagam PBB dalam bahasa Indonesia. --- Voting System and Records
Vote and Majority Required Article 27 of the UN Charter states that: - Each member of the Security Council shall have one vote. - Decisions of the Security Council on procedural matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members. - Decisions of the Security Council on all other matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members including the concurring votes of the permanent members; provided that, in decisions under Chapter VI, and under paragraph 3 of Article 52, a party to a dispute shall abstain from voting. The Right to Veto The creators of the United Nations Charter conceived that five countries — China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) [which was succeeded in 1990 by the Russian Federation], the United Kingdom and the United States —, because of their key roles in the establishment of the United Nations, would continue to play important roles in the maintenance of international peace and security. They were granted the special status of Permanent Member States at the Security Council, along with a special voting power known as the "right to veto". It was agreed by the drafters that if any one of the five permanent members cast a negative vote in the 15-member Security Council, the resolution or decision would not be approved. All five permanent members have exercised the right of veto at one time or another. If a permanent member does not fully agree with a proposed resolution but does notwish to cast a veto, it may choose to abstain, thus allowing the resolution to be adopted if it obtains the required number of nine favourable votes. http://www.un.org/en/sc/meetings/voting.shtml
