United Nations Security Council |

| The Security Council is the most powerful body in the United Nations (UN). Its 15 members determine how the UN should resolve world conflicts, and it is the only UN body that can order enforcement action in the event of aggression. The Council’s five permanent members—Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States—have the most power because any one of them can veto a Council decision. | ||||||
