UN Security Council

The UN Security Council (UNSC) is a key part of the United Nations responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It consists of 15 members: five permanent members (the U.S., Russia, China, France, and the UK) with veto power, and ten elected members who serve two-year terms. The UNSC can take actions such as imposing sanctions, authorizing military intervention, or establishing peacekeeping missions to address conflicts and threats. Its decisions are binding for UN member states, making it a crucial platform for collective security and diplomacy in the world.
