Only permanent members of UNSC have veto powers.

So the only way to get the big guys to the table is by giving them the option to have it their way by force

I know that there are pro's and cons to this but IMO its too much power

Critics say that the veto is the most undemocratic element of the UN,[5] as well as the main cause of inaction on war crimes and crimes against humanity, as it effectively prevents UN action against the permanent members and their allies.[6]
