De fem som styr säkerhetsrådet : En undersökning av de fem permanenta medlemmarnas användning av vetot mellan 1946 och 1990

Sammanfattning: The United Nations was founded right after World War Two by the Allied, namely Great Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. The most important organ within the United Nations was the Security Council and the three founding nations, plus France and China, was given the permanent seats of the Security council. With that permanent seat came the veto. Every permanent member had the right to veto resolutions that they found was not in their country´s best interest. What I want to examine is how the permanent members of the Security Council have used their vetoes from the start at 1946 to 1990. The intention of the veto was that the permanent members could use their veto if they felt that the resolution draft was a threat to their sovereignty.  From 1991 to today, a group called Stop Illegitimate Vetoes have examined the veto and found that most of the vetoes that the permanent members use is not because it is a threat to their own nation, but more likely it is one of their allied friends who they are trying to help. I would like to see if that is also true during the years before 1991.
