Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are wrong regarding the powers of UN permanent members?

• A. A permanent member of the UN security council has Veto power.
• B. Veto power allows countries to turn decisions in their favour against a majority.
• C. The decision making power of all the nations in the UN are equal.
• D. India has Veto power.

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

India has Veto power.

Being a permanent member of the UN benefits the countries with the Veto power. This power allows them to turn decisions in their favour against a majority. The decision making power of the remaining nations is less than permanent nations. India is not a permanent nation; hence, it does not have Veto power.
