The contemporary role of the Security Council

Abstract

As the principal organ of the United Nations charged with the maintenance
of international peace and security, the Security Council enjoys greater
powers than any other international body in history. Its powers are farreaching
and allow for the adoption of a wide range of enforcement
measures including authorisation of the use of force.
