On what basis were some countries given UNSC veto power?
I was wondering about the UNSC veto power. On what basis were some countries given that power?
The five permanent members of the UN Security Council (USNC): China, France, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom were given veto power when the UN was founded in 1945. This was because they were seen as the major Allied powers that emerged victorious from World War II and were considered essential to maintaining international peace and security.
