Stassen’s UN reform plan meets veto hurdle
Harold E. Stassen, an American delegate, urged a 1950 UN convention to amend the Charter. He favors ending the single power veto, a UN police force, world law on human rights, and global energy to fight Soviet influence. He proposes a five point program including economy, Marshall Plan follow through, stronger military with air power, and no exports to Russia. The central obstacle remains how the UN would abolish the veto.
