FNsikkerhetsrådet

FNsikkerhetsrådet is the principal organ of the United Nations responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It is composed of fifteen members, including five permanent members with veto power: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The remaining ten members are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms.

The Council's primary role is to investigate any dispute or situation that might lead to international friction. It determines the existence of a threat to peace, breach of peace, or act of aggression and recommends or decides what measures shall be taken to maintain or restore peace and security. These measures can range from imposing economic sanctions to authorizing the use of military force.

FNsikkerhetsrådet decisions, known as resolutions, are binding on all UN member states. Its deliberations and actions are crucial in addressing global conflicts and crises. The presidency of the Council rotates monthly among its members. The Council's work is guided by the UN Charter, which outlines its powers and responsibilities in addressing threats to global stability and promoting peaceful resolutions to international disputes.
