I think that as the US is a permanent member of the security council it can veto this if it wants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council...

I'm afraid not. ITU belongs to UNDG, which itself is a sub-group of ECOSOC, and the veto policies of SC don't carry over to ECOSOC.

I sincerely like the fact that someone on here can answer with something like that. I had no clue and it would have taken a lot more time to look that up than read it (and off the cuff it sounded plausible re: the security council). And if I want to pursue it, I can start from what you said and check that.
