Mahathir said the veto power has resulted in an arms race.

NEW YORK, Sept 28 — The veto power wielded by the United States, France, China, the United Kingdom and Russia has killed the very purpose of the creation of the United Nations , said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“Almost three quarters of a century ago, five countries claimed victory in the Second World War. On the basis of that victory they insisted on the right practically to rule the world. “Each one of them can negate the wishes of the nearly 200 other members. It is totally and absolutely undemocratic,” he said in his statement at the General Debate of the 74th UN General Assembly here.
