  • Yes, but the US no vote was an automatic veto. They had to remove anything that affected the US and then get all the other UN members to vote on it just to get it to pass. Any P5 nation with veto power can pull the teeth out of a UN resolution.

    A “no” vote from a P5 is always a veto. When any of the P5 vote “no” in the Council, a resolution cannot move forward. Council members can, however, resolve their differences and propose new drafts for a vote by the Council. They can also call on a vote from the wider UN membership – the 193 Member States that make up the General Assembly (GA).

    Its not about the guillotine, its about sending a message.

    Sure, theoretically, if you “guilloize” the first round of billionaires a second round will pop up, but if you “guilloize” that second round then each successive round that you “guilloize” will get smaller and smaller … that is my theory at least.
