Dr M tells UN general assembly: Modify veto power to prevent abuses

NEW YORK (Bernama): Calling for the United Nations to return to its original purpose of ensuring world peace, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the time has come when the veto power should be modified if it cannot be done away with completely.

The Prime Minister suggested that the veto should only be valid if two veto powers together with three non-veto members agree to apply it, to ensure less frequent abuses.
