6月8日，德國、日本、巴西和印度四國聯盟向聯合國成員國散發了有關安理會擴大的新框架性決議草案，繼續要求增加安理會常任理事國，但表示新常任理事國的否決權問題可以等到安理會擴大完成的15年后再予以解決。 外電報道如下：Germany, Japan, Brazil and India on Wednesday dropped the right
to a veto for new permanent U.N. Security Council members in their revised
draft resolution to expand the 15-member prestigious body.
The four nations, contenders for permanent council seats, want the U.N.
General Assembly to adopt a framework resolution as early as this month
that would add 10 new members to the council, six permanent members and
four nonpermanent ones.
The council currently has five permanent members, which would keep
their veto power, and 10 nonpermanent members rotating for two-year terms.
Veto表示“否決；禁止；不同意”，例如：veto a
bill（否決一項議案），上文中使用的是veto的名詞用法“否認權，否決權，禁止權”。例如：Father put a veto upon our
staying out late.（父親不 許我們在外面逗留太晚。）
據悉，根據《聯合國憲章》的有關規定，憲章修正案需至少得到聯大三分之二成員國（包括安理會現任5
個常任理事國）立法機構的批準后方能生效。
