    I agree, but it appears to be the weakness of all multi-national organisations. The UN security council is paralyzed by the fact that the US and Russia have veto powers. The League of Nations was similarly paralyzed before it. NATO can’t do anything unless the US is involved, and the EU is hamstring by one nation out of 27.

      Why have a system with veto powers at all. One country should not be able to stop something.
