Explain the factors that make the United Nations a Non-Democratic Organisation.
1. Every one of the 193 member states of the UN has one vote in the General Assembly. In that sense the UN would appear to be a very democratic organization.
2. But the General Assembly cannot take any decision about what action should be taken in a conflict between different countries.
3. The fifteen members Security Council of the UN takes such Crucial Decisions.
4. The council has five permanent members-US, Russia, UK, France and China.
5. Each Permanent member has veto power. It means that the council cannot take a decision if any permanent member says no to that decision.
6 This system has led more and more people and countries to protest and demand that the UN becomes more democratic.
