Happy International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace! 🕊️

🕊️The United Nations Security council, established in the aftermath of the Second World War saw the major victors of the war named as permanent members of the UNSC. These are France, England, the United States, Russia, and, in a gesture of openness towards the East, China. 🕊️There are ten non-permanent members elected for a two-year term. They are elected in groups of five each year, based on geographical distribution: - Two seats for the African group in odd years and one seat in even years. - Two seats for the Western European states in even years. - One seat for the Asia-Pacific group in odd years. - One seat for the Latin American and Caribbean group in even years. - One seat for the Eastern European group in odd years. - A "transitional Arab" seat that alternates between the African and Asia-Pacific groups in odd years. 🕊️ The order of the country presiding is defined on a rotating basis according to the English alphabetical order of the countries' names. This changes every month, and each country presides at least twice. 🕊️ In a vote, each country has one vote, and nine votes are required for a decision to be made. However, the five permanent members have a veto right. If they decide to exercise it, the decision cannot be taken, even if there is a majority. Maria Isabelle Wieser Giulia Polatti Anouk Baer

What are the origins of the United Nations Security council? - The First World War was so extensive and caused such devastation that the international community agreed to establish a supranational body to prevent the repetition of similar mistakes and to promote peace. It is in this perspective that the League of Nations was created in 1919. - But the Second World War revealed the limitations of the League of Nations in maintaining peace. Among other reasons cited were the withdrawal of some major powers from the League, notably Germany and the USSR, the failure of other significant nations such as the United States to join, as well as the lack of a supranational body which could enforce measures against countries violating binding treaties, were identified as reasons for maintaining peace. - The traumatism of World War II led to the establishment of the United Nations (UN) - this time, the United States and the URSS joined from the beginning. In this new structure, six main organs were created. With the Security Council (UNSC) the UN became the first international organization with a right to deploy armed forces to enforce binding treaties. - The main objective of the UNSC is to maintain peace and security. It is also this body that can be approached in case of threat or violation of peace Maria Isabelle Wieser, Giulia Polatti, Anouk Baer, Emilie Compignie, Gregory Licker, PhD, Ulrich Lehner, Andrea Daniela Puricelli, Bernhard Fuhrer, Robert P.
