To my knowledge only 5 permanent members of the UN have veto powers, China, Russia, US, GB and France.
You criticize Global Research.
I take the same stance as a blog response below, on the accuracy of their reporting:
"12. michel chossudovsky's globalresearch.ca is a light in the halls of pol darkness

agree not all globalresearch.ca writers meet high scholarly or informed opinion standards, but the vast majority do. the site is a clearinghouse for many kinds of critical pol views, from the right and left. if i need quick access to left views in particular i search the site. dr paul craig roberts is routinely featured (a repub anti-fascist former reagan treas dept undersec) as is dr chossudovsky from the left, whose pol-ec views are unassailable from the left. whoever 'conspires' to trash the site as unworthy should look in the mirror first."

As to the UN it is time the smaller countries showed initiative and destroyed the veto powers of countries and also employed sanctions against those that take action without authorisation i.e. The US.

I have a greater belief in the accuracy of Global research reporting than I have in the belief the white helmets are purely a humanitarian organisation in Syria.
