It is time we re negotiate the necessity of a security council in the UN. Vesting the VETO power with 5 nations is creating a discriminatory environment. As it stands the UN should be a assembly of nations and not a courtroom where in five judges will determine any outcome with each having their own obligations. India should ask for a debate in the general assembly on this and either including India, Japan, Brazil, Germany, Turkey/Iran, South Africa as permanent members of the security council with the veto being relpaced with 2/3 majority consent within the permanent members by amending the UN charter through vote in the generalassembly or the permanent member forum being abolished and the veto becoming a 2/3 majority consent among all members of UN security council (which itself becomes a rotating membership forum with every world nation getting a opportunity on continent based seat allocations) and either case is beneficial for the whole of the world.
Until then nobody can prevent a future Iraq invasion or future pardon to war crimes.
