VETO dalam bahasa Latin berarti "melarang" atau "saya melarang". Hak veto digunakan untuk menunjukkan bahwa pihak tertentu mempunyai hak untuk menghentikan secara sepihak terhadap bagian/keseluruhan dari perundang-undangan/ketentuan. Pada United Nations (Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa), hak veto hanya dimiliki oleh 5 negera yaitu Amerika Serikat, Rusia, China, Prancis dan Inggris.
Dalam permasalah Israel, sejak 1972 Amerika telah menggunakan hak veto lebih banyak daripada 4 negara lain terutama pada rancangan resolusi tindakan atau kebijakan terhadap negara Israel.
"The United States of America has used its veto power more than any other permanent member since 1972; particularly on draft resolutions condemning the actions or policies of the State of Israel." (Wikipedia bahasa Inggris)
