The Permanent members of UN can exercise veto power.China is a permanent member,so it has the veto power in UN.
Having opposing parties with veto power meant that the UN could do little.Such is the case today since a few powers control what the UN does or sometimes they want different things and veto each other and nothing gets done.
Most likely the case
In any case, the Soviet Union, though able to veto this, did not do so. This was due to the fact that they did not attend that particular meeting that discussed the US's intervention, mostly since the USSR was boycotting the UN's refusal to allow the People's Republic of China (then under Mao) entry to the United Nations.
There are 15 countries that hold veto power in the UN. Any country NOT among the 15 doesn't have veto power.
Any permanent nation-member.
England is a veto power in the UN.
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.
probably because of the support that they got from the soviet union
Security Council.
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.
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.
