Established upon the adoption of the UN Charter in the wake of World War II, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the UN’s six principal organs, charged with preserving the peace and security of the international system. In order to achieve this goal, members from various nations collaboratively draft, revise, and pass resolutions containing both preventive and remedial policies designed to address emerging and long-standing conflicts around the world. Whether dealing with challenges related to political instability, economic uncertainty, or environmental degradation, the UNSC has a myriad of strategies it can utilize, from implementing joint commercial sanctions to deploying UN peacekeepers. Furthermore, as outlined in Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the council can even authorize the use of force to quell conflict, should there be no more apparent avenues through which that conflict could be peacefully resolved—a tactic whose gravity delegates should thoroughly consider before employing and, in turn, possibly changing the trajectory of the world.
