Abstract

Using a qualitative research approach, specifically document analysis, this article has unpacked the detrimental effects of foreign policies on the international system. It equates the global system to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) endowed with the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security. With an emphasis on realism and liberalism as the significant frameworks for foreign policy, this paper argues the U.S., China, and Russia have been using their veto power as instruments to protect their national interests protected by respective foreign policies. Citing empirical pieces of evidence, this article maintains that whenever, the U.S., China, and Russia use their veto power that blocks any UNSC resolution strategic to its core functions, it paralyzes the effectiveness of the international system. As such, global security is held hostage by UNSC vetoes. Consequently, it paints the system as impartial, promoting a culture of impunity in some parts of the globe, and a toothless bulldog for enforcing international law.
