While the Security Council may be out of date, the veto power is probably worth keeping. The U.N. cannot afford to draft a resolution for military action, and then find one of the 3 or 4 strongest national armies fighting on the opposite side. The U.N. has only as much power as the economic and military powers of the world are willing to give it. And the world powers are only willing to give the U.N. authority on a case to case basis when it suits their own purposes. I don't see that changing any time soon.
