The United Nations Security Council plays a crucial role in maintaining global peace and security. Composed of five permanent members and ten rotating elected members, the Council decides on measures to address threats to international stability, such as draft resolutions, sanctions, and peacekeeping missions. Its primary function is to prevent conflict through diplomatic means and to facilitate the peaceful resolution of disputes. When peace is threatened, the Council can authorize the use of force, striving to unite member states under international law, thus promoting a cooperative approach to global security challenges.
