Should members of the security council maintain their veto?

Amnesty International has called on the five members with a veto in the UN Security Council to drop the veto in cases of genocide, with the aim of preventing a similar situation in future.

The veto may make military intervention easier by the members of the security council as what is classified as a veto is still debated. The atrocities in the Middle East now can be classified as a veto.

Amnesty International is a left wing charity. It will always make such foolish suggestions, and I don't take kindly to the fact that they think that all rich nations should just allow in all refugees. It's all nonsense, and the veto shouldn't be dropped in any case.

The Netherlands believes that Amnesty International is correct here, no one country should be able to control the actions of the world.
