The Security Council was established in 1946
Like the United Nations, it was also established after World War II. The first meeting of the Security Council was held on January 17, 1946. Due to the Cold War, the Security Council was weak for a long time. But it played an important role during the Congo War and the Korean War. Apart from this, peacekeeping missions were also sent to many countries as needed. The Security Council consists of 5 permanent and 10 non-permanent members. The non-permanent members are elected every two years.

Led peacekeeping operations in many countries
After the dissolution of Russia, the Security Council saw its strength greatly increased and conducted peacekeeping operations in many parts of the world. In times of instability, the Security Council has carried out several peacekeeping missions in Kuwait, Namibia, Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan and Congo.
