- Tarik Kafala. "The Veto and how to use it". BBC News Online. September 17, 2003. - "Were the veto to be abolished, the majority view at the council would prevail and we might expect more resolutions passed, more situations identified as threats to world security, more cases of states being reprimanded and sanctions being imposed."
- Babu Das Augustine. "UN least democratic body, says Mahathir". Malaysia Today. November 30, 2005 - "The UN in its current form has lost its relevance; and if at all it should make any sense as supra national political body, it should be run by the consent of the majority rather than by imposing the will of a few who have the veto power."
