Rejected petition UN decisions should be based on majority voting of UN Security Council members

Decisions by the UN Security Council should be allowed if the majority of UN Security Council members at the time agree, provided at least 3 out of 5 of the UN permanent Security Council members (i.e. UK, USA, Russia, China, France) also agree, hence stopping the impasse of veto.

More details

UN Security Council condemnation of atrocities, inhumane action, etc by a state behaviour is often thwart by veto of one (or more) of the 5 UN permanent Security Council members. UN is currently a hapless and ineffective talking shop because there are too many UN members with differing agendas.
