ABSTRACT
Small states within the United Nations have normative authority; the large states have actual power, both military and economic. The problem is the conflict which arises between the exercise of both these. Professor Toshiki Mogami introduced the subject, and brought to their attention the fact that there is a democracy between states which has to be preserved; and that the introduction of a weighted voting system in a Second Assembly, which of course is one method, must be designed to protect this existing democracy. Then they went on to talk about the veto system with Prof. Hans Koechler and they agreed, or most of them thought, that the Security Council veto introduced an anti-democratic element to the work of the United Nations. The authors also went on to the problem of international lobbying, and also talked about the lack of enforceability, which was probably in this context related to the inability of the General Assembly to make its decisions binding.
