all of them (Each had a veto.)
|
Detailed explanation-1: -According to the UN Charter, Article 23, “The Security Council shall consist of fifteen Members of the United Nations". The Security Council has 15 members: 5 permanent members with veto power: China.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since 1992, Russia has been the most frequent user of the veto, followed by the United States and China. France and the United Kingdom have not used the veto since 1989. As of May 2022, Russia/USSR has used its veto 121 times, the US 82 times, the UK 29 times, China 17 times, and France 16 times.
Detailed explanation-3: -In effect, each member state of the League had the power of the veto, and, except for procedural matters and a few specified topics, a single “nay” killed any resolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Those states, however, were distrustful of each other and did not want to put important decisions of security into the hands of a possibly hostile majority in the Council. For that reason the veto remained, but only for the five permanent member states.
