Best Answer

The P5 members of the Security Council are the victors and largest military powers after World War II.

The reason they exist is that they are the ones with the power to ensure that the demands of the UN are met. The reason, suposedly, that the veto is there is to prevent them from losing their troops over causes they can't support.
