Established in 1945, it was aimed at maintaining international peace and security, displaying friendly relations among nations. The United Nations have several organs. One principle organ is the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) which this work focuses on. The United Nations Security Council is charged with the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security among nations. In order to ensure effective actions by the United Nations, its members confer on the Security Council the primary function of maintaining international peace. The UNSC has the power to make decisions
