The United Nations Security Council is one of the six principal organs of the UN. Its primary objective is the maintenance of international peace and security. The UNSC is the only committee with legally binding authority. Members in the SC can impose sanctions and authorize the use of military power through directives or in the resolution itself. The SC also has the responsibility of accepting new member states into the UN.
