Founded with the adoption of the UN Charter during the aftermath of the Second World War, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the UN’s chief organ that is  responsible for maintaining the peace and security of the global community. The pursuit of this goal is a true team effort—one wherein delegations from the UK, France, Russia, China, the US, and 10 rotating member nations convene to jointly draft, debate, amend, and pass resolutions with preventive and remedial policies for addressing both persistent and emerging challenges across the globe. From unconstitutional transfers of power to climate change-induced mass migration, the UNSC has several tools at its disposal for every crisis, from the enactment of joint commercial sanctions to the deployment of UN peacekeepers. Moreover, Chapter VII of the UN Charter even permits the council to use force to suppress a conflict in the event that all prior efforts at peacefully resolving it have proven ineffective—a high-risk, last-resort strategy that, if undertaken, could change the future of the world for better and worse alike.
