Here are three examples for you:

1. General and complete disarmament: consolidation of peace through practical disarmament measures.

2. Prevention of an arms race in outer space.

3. General and complete disarmament: the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects.

These are specific votes (and there are more...) that have gone:
"The World" vs. U.S (veto)

1. Does our country really want peace?
2. Is the U.S becoming a "Rogue" superpower?

Have you ever heard of the B-36 Peacemaker? Peace is never agreed, but is forced upon the world. The only thing that can deter a man with a gun from doing evil is a man with another gun. Apologies, but peace is NOT the natural order. It is artificial, synthetic, MAN made. And it is one of the few things we have yet to master. Untill judgement day, when we're all in some utopic heaven, peace will always be US pointing a gun at the rest of the world.
