We veto it.

I veto it.

Collective action to prevent and respond to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes must, therefore, not be made impossible by a veto or threat of veto by one of the permanent members of the Council.

(a) Defining the scope of the veto and modification of the use of the veto

Our preference is to limit the use of veto and to promote a veto free culture.

The question of the use of the veto

Instead, a veto free culture should be promoted.

(a) Restraint on the use of the veto

We invite the permanent members of the Security Council to refrain from using the veto in cases of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

It was also suggested that if a veto is used, an explanation of the reasons for the veto should be given to the Assembly.

Any attempt to curtail the veto will be vetoed. Undemocratic though it may be, the veto will be with us for the foreseeable future.

In addition, the veto should be used as a last resort, if used at all, and certainly not in cases involving genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

(f) The question of the use of the veto.

In our view, the veto can rarely be justified.

No extension of the veto power should take place.

As a first step, we believe it essential to move towards defining limitations on the use of the veto through specific amendments to Article 27, paragraph 3, such as prohibiting the use of the veto in relation to issues such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and massive human rights violations.

My third point relates to the use of the veto.

The third message is the claim to the veto power.

Let me briefly deal with the matter of the veto.

We have often reaffirmed that the veto should be eliminated.

These proposals do not affect the substance of the veto.

We further call for the elimination of the veto power.

The Kingdom supports international consensus on expansion of Security Council membership and restricting veto power by prohibiting its use against the implementation of resolutions previously adopted by the Security Council.

But our critics say that the AU is not really committed to the veto at all that it does not really want the veto, but something entirely different.
