I don't see them self-determining themselves.

But it just handicaps the UN. The bulk of the resolutions are just vetoed. Those are unfair rights. Anyone wanting to join in, want to just want a veto power to tackle their political problems.

It should be abolished and all resolutions should be passed, after getting a majority vote from all member nations.
That's pointless. No one is going to respect a body that gives the US the same representation as Haiti. If an organization doesn't represent the real powers in the world it will be deemed irrelevant and ignored by those powers.
