The five permanent members of the UN Security Council: China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States.
most assemblies? no single country has definitive veto power, though they can still vote against resolutions. in the Security Council, however, 5 countries have the ability to veto a resolution and make in fail regardless of voting outcome. these countries are: Russia, China, France, the UK, and the US.
There are 15 countries that hold veto power in the UN. Any country NOT among the 15 doesn't have veto power.
The Permanent members of UN can exercise veto power.China is a permanent member,so it has the veto power in UN.
Because the Soviet Union at the time was boycotting the Security Council meetings, and Communist China had been refused a seat in the Council; so the two parties most likely to veto the resolutions were not in a position to do so.
Why P5 has a right to veto as each member of the league council whether permanent or non-permanent. The UN Charter provision among the permanent members was the result of extensive discussion.
The UN security council has 15 members. Of these, 5 nations are permanent members (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, & United States) who hold veto power. The remaining 10 are elected non-permanent members with two-year terms. The non-permanent members are elected from the General Assembly and do not have veto power over the Council's resolutions.
There are 193 member States.
There are five veto wielding countries in the UN: Russia, China, France, UK and USA. They were the big winners of the second world war and they effectively sorted out the rules of the UN to suit themselves. They are the only permanent members of the UN Security Council. None wanted to have the UN tell them what to do, so they agreed that this could never happen. Now that the world has changed, none really want to give up this power, although France and the UK both say they support UN reform that would bring more countries into the Permanent Members club (such as India, Brazil and South Africa and others). Other UN members can't change the veto rights of the permanent five, without risking the use of the veto they want to abolish.
