Question

Which statement is the best description of ‘Veto Power’ ?

• A. It is a power of positive voting.
• B. After the end of the Second World War, Veto Power is given only to permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to establish peace in the world.
• C. All the temporary members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) have the right to use Veto Power only for two years.
• D. All the members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) possess Veto Power.

Hint:

Veto Power is exclusive to the P5 nations (USA, UK, Russia, France, China). A single negative vote by any one of the P5 stops any substantive UNSC resolution from passing, making it a negative voting power.
