RIGHT OF VETO – UNDEMOCRATIC INSTRUMENT VIS-A-VIS THE REFERENDUM

Summary/Abstract: Democracy is a fundamental social value, both on internal and external plan. With the disruption of the balance of democracy and democratic governance, the peace and security are disrupted indirectly. Hence, more realistic possibilities and conditions for endangering the world order and peace are created. Although a protective instrument like the veto was established in the UN, starting from the legal framework for its establishment to its actual usage, series of violation of the democratic values by that instrument were evident. The replacement of the right of veto with internal referendum is the only way out of the multiple disruptions of the democratic values by the major democratic organizations, because through it at least there is an opportunity for expressing the opinions of the majority of members of the organization, avoiding it being a pledge of a single member or entity.
