In the past the USSR held one of the five permanent seats on the UN Security Council. The USSR had a veto. When the USSR disbanded, the UN legal council summarily granted the seat and veto to one section of the USSR, Russia. The legal council did this without consulting the General Assembly. He was just one guy sitting in an office.
Is it time now for the General Assembly to vote on Russia's Security Council permanent membership and veto?
