While the P5 (US, UK, France, Russia, and the PRC) have veto power on the Security Council, they don't necessarily have veto power in the body discussed in the article. Theoretically, the Security Council could pass a resolution to stop the lower body from doing this, but that resolution would be subject to P5 veto power.
The fact that is most likely to prevent this from being an issue is that the decisions of this ITU body are probably not binding, and the content providers will just ignore them unless governments actually try to enforce this.
