I am just trying to tease it out. The issue here is the P5 veto. Is there any other mechanism or "safeguard" to use Senator Clonan's words, that could be incorporated in the Bill whereby there is a resolution that is supported by a supermajority? If a particular mission is being debated at the United Nations and everyone other than Russia is supportive, is there any safeguarding that could be suggested in such a scenario?
