What's Veto? What Is The Right Of Veto??

ما هو حق الفيتو ؟

The right of veto, we often hear in the political news, the use of state veto power over a particular decision, what is the meaning of the word veto, we'll show you the veto is a Latin word origin, has this word dramatically emerged after World War II ended, and the meaning of the word veto is " I object to, or I do not agree and criticized, "has been appearing after World war II, where the United Nations body which emerged, including the Security Council, and its role was established is to take crucial decisions and important at the international level, and the members of the Security Council is change them all the time, and there five countries have been appointed as the five permanent members, which means that a continuous presence and expressed in the Security Council and the countries that has the right to veto any has the right to veto.

What is the right of veto

The right to veto, is one of the rights possessed by the great powers in the world, and define more precisely is a unjust rights existing in the Security Council, and the veto power of this which is in the hands of the great powers that use it to serve their interests only, without considering any other considerations, you may lose the Security Council credibility of the whole, as the great powers control the Security Council resolutions, and these countries that control of any decision by the Security Council are the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain, these are the countries controlling the issuance of any decision, as they objected to the any decision is contrary to their interests or the interests of their friends "friendly countries", where you turn the decision without being traded or passed, even, albeit this decision is approved by everyone, as long as these countries have a veto means that it has been pre-empt that decision, and gone forever.

What is meant by a veto:  the veto is a veto from the five permanent members to reject any decision without passage of the Security Council to be voted on, and thus are canceled and not to discuss it and thus failure to perform, and have it to reject one of its five permanent this decision.

We find now there are a number of voices calling for change this unjust exclusion and unfair, as the five countries permanent members use the veto power, resulting in a balance of forces fresh, and injustice is not worthy of the United Nations established the basis for upholding the right, but where the right or justice and Where is the equality in the existence of this right  of others equitably and call it a right of veto, and even if we accept this thought and logic arrogant, there is a major and states with larger states that have permanent membership in the Security Council effect.

The right of veto is no objection to the only decision, it is a miscarriage and termination resolution without irreversible, and this is a major flaw of democracy advocated by the states, and the problem is not in the same resolution, but the method of selecting members of the veto and who are selected by the Security Council and they shall be members or wielding members of the Security Council, they have not been selected, but the election is to form a strong, so many countries have called for the abolition of the right of veto, and demanded that other countries be modified veto system and be included major countries such as Germany, Japan and Brasil.


Do you think that Veto is a miscarriage solution? Leave a comment with all arguments, we will discuss it together

The Global Competitiveness Index 2015–2016 Rankings

Reforms to improve productivity needed to break out of the “new normal”

Despite substantive efforts to re-ignite recovery, global economic growth remains low and unemployment persistently high. The Global Competitiveness Report 2015-2016 calls for productivity-enhancing reforms to break with this pattern.
Seven years after the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, its consequences are still being felt around the world. The recovery has been less robust, more uncertain and taken longer than many expected, suggesting a “new normal” of subdued economic growth, lower productivity growth and high unemployment. Recent geopolitical shocks – from the crisis in Ukraine to conflicts in the Middle East, terrorism and the migrant crisis – have added to economic difficulties. 
Addressing constraints to growth on the supply side could go a long way to restoring growth. Through a systematic assessment of the drivers of productivity, the Report identifies priority areas for structural reforms.

Competitiveness drives resilience

The Report shows that competitiveness – understood as higher productivity – is a key driver of growth and resilience. The historic proportions of the economic crisis and the relative performance of economies since its onset in 2008 have shed light on how structural weaknesses can exacerbate the effects of, and hinder recovery from shocks. 
During the crisis, the more competitive economies  systematically outperformed the least competitive in terms of economic growth: they either withstood the crisis better or recovered more quickly. This result holds true at every stage of development (see chart).

Note: The GCI 2007–2008 rank out of 131 appears next to the country name. The number of economies included in each group is indicated in parentheses along the x-axis
For example, Switzerland, ranked 1st in the Report, has since 2007 experienced only a mild recession in 2009 and its unemployment rate has remained around 3% throughout the crisis. Meanwhile, Greece, ranked 81st, has seen its economy shrink by 25% and the jobless rate remains above 20%. 

Leveraging the human factor

At the heart of an economy’s competitiveness is its capacity to leverage talent. High unemployment figures weigh heavily on societies, risking not only prolonged lower demand but also the de-skilling of a significant segment of the labour force and growing discontent. 
This holds even truer in the post-crisis years, which coincide with a fundamental shift away from the traditional manufacturing industry while the widespread use of ICT is generating entirely new industries and disrupting others. Talent-driven economies are best equipped to adapt to the changes brought about by this tech revolution and to reap their benefits.

A tool for policy-makers

Growth recovery in unchartered territory will require recognizing that we need a shared assessment and understanding of the future sources of competitiveness. By reducing complexity and providing a tool to identify strengths and weaknesses and track progress, the Report serves to inform and support policy-makers, businesses and civil society in their development of a shared, long-term vision. 
Beyond the vision, enhancing competitiveness is a complex and often protracted process that demands difficult trade-offs, careful consideration for sequencing reforms and room for calibration in changing conditions. Steering the course towards enhanced competitiveness requires vigilance and commitment from all stakeholders and throughout the process, for which the Report serves as a guide and monitoring tool.
