The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), is one of the six main organs of the United Nations General Assembly. It was established on the 24th of October, 1946, with a mission of maintaining international peace and security of nations on a global scale, in accordance with the UN charter. This committee consists of 15 delegations, five of them being permanent members, the P5, composed of the United States, China, Russia, United Kingdom and France. These nations hold the power to veto resolutions that they deem unfit and believe violates an article in the UN charter, furthermore, if applied, the resolution will not pass regardless of a majority vote.

The Security Council will deal with topics regarding worldwide security, tackling issues such as civil wars, terrorism and arms proliferation. Moreover, peaceful negotiations are always the objective in resolutions especially since decisions made in the Security Council have an impact on countries in a global range, e territorially, culturally and socially.
