What is the UN Security Council? The Council is an organ of the United Nations charged with maintaining global peace and security. Each of the members has a vote each on decisions of the Council, although substantive decisions must be endorsed by all the five permanent members. There are five slots available on the UN Security Council this year. Issues of global health, financing for peace and security as well as the linguistic patterns could influence the vote.
