Despite more than 9 weeks of Israeli massacres in Gaza, the UN Security Council has been unable to agree on a ceasefire.
The Secretary General invoked a rarely used power to urge the Security Council to act.
But the US blocked it, using its veto power.
Critics say this absolute power of the five permanent members renders the world body helpless.
So, is it time for the veto power to be removed?

Presenter: Cyril Vannier
