To determine the membership of the SC, considering contribution is important, such as actual contributions to UN peacekeeping operations, the UN budget, and international peace and security. Then, countries which respect for human rights, the rule of law and democratic principles, along with a good international reputation, also can be membership.

1. The veto power stabilizes great power relations and avoids reckless Security Council decisions.

2. Removing it would reduce permanent members’ willingness to lead global security efforts.

3. Radical reform is impossible, as permanent members can veto any changes to their privileges.
