    Can the UN even do anything to the United States if they have a unilateral security council veto? I would think that the USA would successfully find a way to argue that sanctioning them for crimes against humanity is not considered a “procedural” decision.

      Can the UN even do anything

      no

      to the United States

      gods no

      if they have a unilateral security council veto?

      the “don’t do that” button does, quite effectively, prevent the UN from doing anything, and for some godforsaken reason 5 countries all have one

      successfully find a way to argue

      they don’t need to do that, that’s what the “don’t do that” button is for
