I thank the Minister for his response. He mentioned political will. That the permanent members of the Security Council have and maintain a veto means there is no need for political will because they can decide which issues are progressed and which are not by using that veto. How does the Minister propose to encourage removal of that veto or how would it be abolished? What is the process within the United Nations for that? What is Ireland doing to make that happen? Do the members of the Security Council have a veto on the removal of the veto?
