UNSCR
Along with the founding of the United Nations, the UN Security Council was established in 1945. The Security Council is the organization’s most powerful body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It can issue sanctions and even authorize military force. The five permanent members are the People’s Republic of China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States (known as the P5). In addition to their permanent status, each P5 nation has the power to veto any resolution with which it disagrees. Ten other UN members, each elected for a rotating two-year term and without veto power, round out the Security Council.
A United Nations Security Council resolution is a UN resolution adopted by the fifteen members of the Security Council; the UN body charged with “primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security”. The UN Charter specifies that a draft resolution on non-procedural matters is adopted if nine or more of the fifteen Council members vote for the resolution, and if it is not vetoed by any of the five permanent members. Draft resolutions on “procedural matters” can be adopted on the basis of an affirmative vote by any of the nine Council members. Myanmar has been a member of the United Nations since April 19,1948.
