Security council

The United Nations Security Council was established in 1945 as one of the six principal organs of the UN. Its primary mission is to maintain international peace and security. The Council has 15 members, five of whom are permanent (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States), and ten of whom are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms. The Security Council is responsible for adopting sanctions, establishing peacekeeping missions, and passing resolutions to resolve international conflicts.

The Security Council's main objective is to ensure global peace and security by making decisions that are binding on all UN members. Its functions include resolving armed conflicts, preventing confrontations, and intervening in crises to prevent them from escalating.
