United Nations Security Council

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six main parts of the United Nations, responsible for maintaining international peace and security. Composed of 15 member countries, including five permanent members with veto power (the U.S., Russia, China, France, and the UK), the Council can make binding decisions, such as imposing sanctions or authorizing military action. It meets regularly to address conflicts and crises around the world. The UNSC plays a crucial role in diplomatic efforts to prevent wars and facilitate peace negotiations among nations.
