    Still, doesn’t sound like a good argument to give those nations veto power over all decisions. Like, currently the way things are reading a motion could come it to have the UN acknowledge that, say, Palestinians are still human beings, and the US could veto that - and then what?

      That can’t happen - go read the declaration on human rights. The question is never if they’re humans: it’s if the state is recognized. Their rights as humans aren’t contested.

      Taiwan is still not recognized as a country only because China refuses to do so.

      This is better than the alternative.
