The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the five principal organs of the United Nations, charged with the maintenance of international peace and security as well as accepting new members to the United Nations and approving any changes to its United Nations Charter. Its powers include the establishment of peacekeeping operations, the establishment of international sanctions, and the authorization of military action through Security Council resolutions; it is the only UN body with the authority to issue binding resolutions to member states. The Security Council held its first session on 17 January 1946.
Like the UN as a whole, the Security Council was created following World War II to address the failings of another international organization, the League of Nations, in maintaining world peace. In its early decades, the body was largely paralyzed by the Cold War division between the US and USSR and their respective allies, though it authorized interventions in the Korean War and the Congo Crisis and peacekeeping missions in the Suez Crisis, Cyprus, and West New Guinea. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, UN peacekeeping efforts increased dramatically in scale, and the Security Council authorized major military and peacekeeping missions in Kuwait, Namibia, Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The most prominent organ of the United Nations, responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security.

UN Security Council Imposes Harsh Sanctions Against DPRK
Russia has vetoed a United Nations resolution condemning the referendum on Ukraine's Crimean region as illegal.
The Security Council will begin negotiations on imposing even further sanctions against North Korea after the reclusive state conducted its fifth and largest nuclear test on Friday. The move was also condemned by the Secretary General who accused the regime of Kim Jong-Un of breaking the international norm against nuclear tests. While the DPRK's closest ally China said it was firmly opposed to the test, it remained unclear if they would support further sanctions against its neighbour, after stiff measures were imposed against Pyongyang in March this year.
