This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2016) |
This is a list of the vetoes exercised by the US government in the United Nations Security Council, from earlier to current. The United States are from 1966 to 2011 the second state with more vetoes in the Security Council, with 82 of these, behind USSR with 121 vetoes between 1946 and 1989.[1]
The abuse of the veto in the Security Council is versed in Chapter 2 of the United Nations Charter and fits it.[2] According to the political scientist Phyllis Bennis, "The US is the reason why the UN is not able to play the role your letter requires, which is to stop the scourge of war" and "The United States vetoed and threaten to veto in the Council Security and meetings such as the General Assembly or the Human rights Council, where there is no veto, they threaten other countries."[3] Although the term "veto" does not appear in the UN charter,[2] according to historian Geoffrey Roberts, the vetoes system was a requirement of the Soviet Union, to avoid wars like World War II.[4] and that second Noam Chomsky, the United States was the country that abused the veto power since the end of the Cold War.[5] Before the wave of vetoes Yankee are the United States respected international institutions he created together with the international community during and after World War II.[6]
