Question

Which of the following countries does not have veto power in the UN Security Council?

A.

United States of America

B.

United Kingdom

C.

Canada

D.

France

Correct option is C

The veto power in the United Nations Security Council is reserved for only the five permanent members, known as the P5 — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China. These countries were given this special power because they were considered the world's major powers after World War II. With the veto power, these countries can reject any proposal or decision, even if all other member states agree. Canada, although an important member of the United Nations and participating in many international peacekeeping missions, is not a permanent member of the Security Council. As a result, Canada does not have the right to veto and can only be part of the Security Council for a certain period of time as an elected non-permanent member.
