The difficulty is you are better off having people within the UN than outside it. Removing the veto has consequences. That is a challenge. I agree with some of what the Minister has said, but serious questions should be asked about the impact that removing the veto would have. That there is a UN in the first place is because the permanent five and the veto were put in place. Reforming that while also keeping all of the players in the room poses serious challenges.
