Abstract

In addition to the ongoing debate surrounding the imperative need to reform the UNSC, especially on the concept of veto power, this article offers another perspective. Using document analysis combined with triangulation of the secondary material as the methodology, this article explored the difficulty of reforming the UNSC. It adopts the realist theory as the framework that sees the concept of veto power as the main difficulty standing in the way of the reform despite the expressed commitment from the five permanent members of the UNSC and other countries. Although this article did not explicitly proffer a remedy to the problem discussed. However, how the author intellectualized and articulated the main issue could draw attention to the ongoing debate and clamor about the need to reform the UNSC veto power. Conclusively, this article doubts not the possibility but sees the use of veto power strategic to the interest of the U.S., China, and Russia as the major obstacle to the reform.
