UN was put into place for peacekeeping efforts and yet there r 5 major countries having veto power.
I don’t understand its use, isn’t a proper voting over issues a better way to go about problems than this ?
Does this veto system actually help in peacekeeping efforts positively ?

The security council and the veto powers of its permanent members was established because otherwise the USA and USSR would not have participated in the UN in a meaningful way. France, China, and the UK’s presence on the council is mostly to obscure the fact that it exists for the Americans and Soviets to say “No” as much as they want.
