United Nations-XXI: The Metaphysical, Ontological and Existential Status of the Veto Power

In the conflagrations of World War II, as a result of incredible spiritual and intellectual efforts, the United Nations was created—an enduring and eternal legacy, a gift from the Victorious Generation-1945 to all of Humanity. Over the past three decades, attacks on the veto power in the UN Security Council have intensified. Consciously or unconsciously, "reformers" ignore its metaphysical, ontological, and existential status. The authors of these attacks base their conclusions on the "undemocratic" and "ineffectiveness" of the UN Security Council, the "unfair privileges" of the five permanent members of the Security Council ("P1945"), the significant increase in UN member states after 1945, the fate of the League of Nations, and "geopolitical realities". Some politicians and experts propose not only limiting the veto power of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, but also completely stripping them of this power. These countries, as we know, are nuclear powers and bear primary responsibility for international security, the preservation of peace, and even life on planet Earth.
