Five months of Israeli strikes on Gaza - and the United Nations has failed to adopt a resolution calling for a ceasefire. Three votes have been held at the Security Council - but the United States has vetoed them all. The UN's Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has described the veto as an instrument that's paralysed the council from taking action on the strip. That's a sentiment Palestine's ambassador to the UN has also voiced - saying American vetoes have cost Palestinians their lives. The US is one of only five permanent members that can veto resolutions - and it's accused of misusing it. So is the use of the veto a hindrance to decision-making in the UN Security Council? And does it only serve the agenda of a select group of countries? Presenter: Adrian Finighan Guests: Richard Gowan- UN Director at the International Crisis Group. Mouin Rabbani - Non-resident fellow at the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies Carne Ross - Adviser for the UN Summit of the Future.
