Know more about UNSC (United Nations Security Council):

  • It approves any changes to the UN Charter.
  • It also has powers like establishing peacekeeping operations, enacting international sanctions, and authorizing military action.
  • The UNSC is the only UN body that can issue binding resolutions on its member states.
  • The Security Council was created after World War II for maintaining world peace.
  • There are fifteen members including five permanent members: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
  • The other ten members keep changing after a period.
  • Permanent members can change any substantive resolution by veto even including the admission of new member states or nominees for the office of Secretary-General
  • However, the Security Council has been criticized for its failure in resolving many conflicts, including Cyprus, Sri Lanka, Syria, Kosovo, and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, reflecting the wider short-comings of the UN. For example, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key heavily criticized the UN's inaction on Syria, more than two years after the Syrian civil war began.
