The
UN Security Council is certainly in need of deep reform to reflect today´s world.
But, for the time being, it is the ultimate platform where matters of peace and
security can be decided. It is therefore of critical importance, even when
decisions are not taken because of one or more vetoes. For instance, when all
the members of the Council vote for a resolution and one of the five permanent
sitters casts a negative vote, this veto has a tremendous political meaning.
Particularly if the resolution was trying to address an issue of directly
related to the international behaviour of the vetoing country. By saying no
that country is just showing to be on the wrong side of the international
community´s wisdom.
