The right of veto has always been of great importance as a means of exercising power by the permanent members of the Security Council. This article aims to review the veto procedures in the UN Security Council in a descriptive-analytical manner using the theory of realism. The main research question is: What effect does the veto privilege for the permanent members of the Security Council have on the veto of the Security Council? The results show that today, the emergence of various political and economic developments in the international arena has led to the veto is no longer open and real, and permanent members have tended to a secret and open veto. On the other hand, the issue of veto power has been brought to the attention of the international community today, and various countries have stated that veto power should be restricted in cases such as genocide and the commission of widespread crimes against humanity. However, this has not yet been finalized and finalized. However, due to the developments in the new era and the existence of crises such as Syria, it is not unreasonable to expect that with the approval of the applicable documents, the veto will be severely restricted in practice, although we see a kind of restriction on the veto.

Therefore, in past eras, this issue has led to the suppression of other member states of the United Nations, and the use of this right has deviated from its original purpose, which was to create and ensure security, and has taken on a political dimension; meaning that a country like the United States, which considers itself a global superpower, prevents any resolution that threatens its interests and the interests of its allies 2 without paying attention to the interests and opinions of other countries.
This issue has been noted by many political figures, including the former Ambassador of New Zealand, Colin Keating, who has stated in this regard that non-permanent members essentially have a sham decision-making role, which has been due to the will of the great powers because of their right to veto 1 and has led to the weakening of their political position and international character.
To this end, the member states of the United Nations General Assembly sought to abolish or limit the right of veto of the permanent members of the Security Council in the context of mass crimes against humanity.
This is because the permanent members of the Security Council did not have a consensus on the definition of crimes against humanity, and the United States and European countries, in order to secure their national interests in the Middle East, were solely seeking to sanction Syria and Iraq through the veto of UN resolutions against these countries, which encountered the veto of Russia and China.
