role in international <a href="/wiki/Collective_security" title="Collective security">collective security</a> is defined by the UN Charter, which authorizes the Security Council to investigate any situation threatening international peace; recommend procedures for peaceful resolution of a dispute; call upon other member nations to completely or partially interrupt economic relations as well as sea, air, postal and radio communications, or to sever diplomatic relations; and enforce its decisions militarily, or by any means necessary.

Here is a description of the situation by Francis O. Wilcox, an adviser to the US delegation to the 1945 conference: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">At San Francisco, the issue was made crystal clear by the leaders of the Big Five: it was either the Charter with the veto or no Charter at all. Senator Connally [from the U.S. delegation] dramatically tore up a copy of the Charter during one of his speeches and reminded the small states that they would be guilty of that same act if they opposed the unanimity principle. "You may, if you wish," he said, "go home from this Conference and say that you have defeated the veto. But what will be your answer when you are asked: 'Where is the Charter?'"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilcox1945-76">[73]</a></blockquote> As of 2012<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_Nations_Security_Council&action=edit">[update]</a>, 269 vetoes had been cast since the Security Council's inception.<a href="#cite_note-77">[d]</a> In this period, China used the veto 9 times, France 18, the Soviet Union or Russia 128, the United Kingdom 32, and the United States 89. Roughly two-thirds of Soviet and Russian combined vetoes were in the first ten years of the Security Council's existence. Between 1996 and 2012, the United States vetoed 13 resolutions, Russia 7, and China 5, whilst France and the United Kingdom did not use the veto.<a href="#cite_note-Veto-75">[72]</a> An early veto by Soviet Commissar <a href="/wiki/Andrei_Vishinsky" class="mw-redirect" title="Andrei Vishinsky">Andrei Vishinsky</a> blocked a resolution on the withdrawal of French forces from Syria and Lebanon which were under <a href="/wiki/Mandate_for_Syria_and_the_Lebanon" title="Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon">French mandate</a> in February 1946; this veto established the precedent that permanent members could use the veto on matters outside of immediate concerns of war and peace. The Soviet Union went on to veto matters including the admission of Austria, Cambodia, Ceylon, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Laos, Libya, Nepal,<a href="#cite_note-78">[74]</a> Portugal, South Vietnam and Transjordan as UN member states, delaying their joining by several years. The United Kingdom and France used the veto to avoid Security Council condemnation of their actions in the 1956 Suez Crisis. The first veto by the United States came in 1970, blocking General Assembly action in <a href="/wiki/Southern_Rhodesia" title="Southern Rhodesia">Southern Rhodesia</a>. From 1985 to 1990, the US vetoed 27 resolutions, primarily to block resolutions perceived as anti-Israel but also to protect its interests in Panama and Korea. The Soviet Union, the United States and China have all vetoed candidates for Secretary-General, with the US using the veto to block the re-election of <a href="/wiki/Boutros_Boutros-Ghali" title="Boutros Boutros-Ghali">Boutros Boutros-Ghali</a> in 1996.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy200652–54-79">[75]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Non-permanent_members">Non-permanent members</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=United_Nations_Security_Council&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Non-permanent members">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_United_Nations_Security_Council" title="List of members of the United Nations Security Council">List of members of the United Nations Security Council</a>, <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_elections" title="United Nations Security Council elections">United Nations Security Council elections</a>, <a href="/wiki/2023_United_Nations_Security_Council_election" title="2023 United Nations Security Council election">2023</a>, <a href="/wiki/2024_United_Nations_Security_Council_election" title="2024 United Nations Security Council election">2024</a>, and <a href="/wiki/2025_United_Nations_Security_Council_election" title="2025 United Nations Security Council election">2025</a></div> Along with the five permanent members, the Security Council of the United Nations has temporary members that hold their seats on a rotating basis by geographic region. Non-permanent members may be involved in global security briefings.<a href="#cite_note-80">[76]</a> In its first two decades, the Security Council had six non-permanent members, the first of which were Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, the Netherlands and Poland. In 1965, the number of non-permanent members was expanded to ten.<a href="#cite_note-81">[77]</a> These ten non-permanent members are <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_elections" title="United Nations Security Council elections">elected</a> by the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly" title="United Nations General Assembly">United Nations General Assembly</a> for two-year terms starting on 1 January, with five replaced each year.<a href="#cite_note-Current-82">[78]</a> To be approved, a candidate must receive at least two-thirds of all votes cast for that seat, which can result in deadlock if there are two roughly evenly matched candidates. In 1979, a standoff between Cuba and Colombia only ended after three months and a record 154 rounds of voting; both eventually withdrew in favour of Mexico as a compromise candidate.<a href="#cite_note-SCR-83">[79]</a> A retiring member is not eligible for immediate re-election.<a href="#cite_note-chapter5-53">[51]</a> The African Group is represented by three members; the <a href="/wiki/Latin_America_and_the_Caribbean" title="Latin America and the Caribbean">Latin America and the Caribbean</a>, Asia-Pacific, and <a href="/wiki/Western_European_and_Others_Group" title="Western European and Others Group">Western European and Others</a> groups by two apiece; and the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_European_Group" title="Eastern European Group">Eastern European Group</a> by one. Traditionally, one of the seats assigned to either the Asia-Pacific Group or the African Group is filled by a nation from the <a href="/wiki/Arab_world" title="Arab world">Arab world</a>, alternating between the groups.<a href="#cite_note-84">[80]</a> Currently, elections for terms beginning in even-numbered years select two African members, and one each within Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean; the traditional "Arab seat" is elected for this term. Terms beginning in odd-numbered years consist of two Western European and Other members, and one each from Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean.<a href="#cite_note-SCR-83">[79]</a> During the <a href="/wiki/2016_United_Nations_Security_Council_election" title="2016 United Nations Security Council election">2016 United Nations Security Council election</a>, neither Italy nor the Netherlands met the required two-thirds majority for election. They subsequently agreed to split the term of the Western European and Others Group. It was the first time in over five decades that two members agreed to do so.<a href="#cite_note-85">[81]</a> Usually, intractable deadlocks are resolved by the candidate countries withdrawing in favour of a third member state.

The other representatives are placed in clockwise order alphabetically from the president leaving two seats at the ends of the table for guest speakers. The seating order of the members is then rotated each month as the presidency changes. Because of the public nature of meetings in the Security Council Chamber, delegations use the chamber to voice their positions in different ways, such as with <a href="/wiki/Walkout" title="Walkout">walkouts</a>.<a href="#cite_note-haidar2015-100">[96]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Consultation_room">Consultation room</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=United_Nations_Security_Council&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Consultation room">edit</a>]</div> Due to the public scrutiny of the Security Council Chamber,<a href="#cite_note-hovell2016-101">[97]</a> much of the work of the Security Council is conducted behind closed doors in "informal consultations".<a href="#cite_note-dewet2003-102">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-bosco2009-103">[99]</a> In 1978, West Germany funded the construction of a conference room next to the Security Council Chamber. The room was used for "informal consultations", which soon became the primary meeting format for the Security Council. In 1994, the French ambassador complained to the Secretary-General that "informal consultations have become the Council's characteristic working method, whilst public meetings, originally the norm, are increasingly rare and increasingly devoid of content: everyone knows that when the Council goes into public meeting everything has been decided in advance".<a href="#cite_note-elgebeily2017-104">[100]</a> When Russia funded the renovation of the consultation room in 2013, the Russian ambassador called it "quite simply, the most fascinating place in the entire diplomatic universe".<a href="#cite_note-sievers2014-105">[101]</a> Only members of the Security Council are permitted in the conference room for consultations. The press is not admitted, and other members of the United Nations cannot be invited into the consultations.<a href="#cite_note-unsc_glossary-106">[102]</a> No formal record is kept of the informal consultations.<a href="#cite_note-unsc_meetings-107">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-unsc_faq-108">[104]</a> As a result, the delegations can negotiate with each other in secret, striking deals and compromises without having their every word transcribed into the permanent record. The privacy of the conference room also makes it possible for the delegates to deal with each other in a friendly manner. In one early consultation, a new delegate from a Communist nation began a propaganda attack on the United States, only to be told by the Soviet delegate, "We don't talk that way in here."<a href="#cite_note-bosco2009-103">[99]</a> A permanent member can cast a "pocket veto" during the informal consultation by declaring its opposition to a measure. Since a veto would prevent the resolution from being passed, the sponsor will usually refrain from putting the resolution to a vote. Resolutions are vetoed only if the sponsor feels so strongly about a measure that it wishes to force the permanent member to cast a formal veto.<a href="#cite_note-dewet2003-102">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-scr2015-109">[105]</a> By the time a resolution reaches the Security Council Chamber, it has already been discussed, debated and amended in the consultations. The open meeting of the Security Council is merely a public ratification of a decision that has already been reached in private.<a href="#cite_note-reid1999-110">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-dewet2003-102">[98]</a> For example, <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1373" title="United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373">Resolution 1373</a> was adopted without public debate in a meeting that lasted just five minutes.<a href="#cite_note-dewet2003-102">[98]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[107]</a> The Security Council holds far more consultations than public meetings. In 2012, the Security Council held 160 consultations, 16 private meetings and 9 public meetings. In times of crisis, the Security Council still meets primarily in consultations, but it also holds more public meetings. After the outbreak of the <a href="/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War" title="Russo-Ukrainian War">Russo-Ukrainian War</a> in 2014, the Security Council returned to the patterns of the Cold War, as Russia and the Western countries engaged in verbal duels in front of the television cameras.

As British historian Paul Kennedy writes, "Everyone agrees that the present structure is flawed. But consensus on how to fix it remains out of reach."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy200676-139">[135]</a> There has been discussion of increasing the number of permanent members. The countries which have made the strongest demands for permanent seats are Brazil, Germany, India and Japan. Japan and Germany, the main defeated powers in WWII, had been the UN's second- and third-largest funders, respectively, before China took over as the second largest funder in recent years, whilst Brazil and India are two of the largest contributors of troops to UN-mandated peace-keeping missions. Italy, another main defeated power in WWII and now the UN's sixth-largest funder, leads a movement known as <a href="/wiki/Uniting_for_Consensus" title="Uniting for Consensus">Uniting for Consensus</a> in opposition to the possible expansion of permanent seats. Core members of the group include Canada, South Korea, Spain, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, Turkey, Argentina and Colombia. Their proposal is to create a new category of seats, still non-permanent, but elected for an extended duration (semi-permanent seats). As far as traditional categories of seats are concerned, the UfC proposal does not imply any change, but only the introduction of small and medium size states amongst groups eligible for regular seats. This proposal includes even the question of veto, giving a range of options that goes from abolition to limitation of the application of the veto only to Chapter VII matters. Former UN Secretary-General <a href="/wiki/Kofi_Annan" title="Kofi Annan">Kofi Annan</a> asked a team of advisers to come up with recommendations for reforming the United Nations by the end of 2004. One proposed measure is to increase the number of permanent members by five, which, in most proposals, would include Brazil, Germany, India and Japan (known as the <a href="/wiki/G4_nations" title="G4 nations">G4 nations</a>), one seat from Africa (most likely between Egypt, Nigeria or South Africa), and/or one seat from the <a href="/wiki/Arab_League" title="Arab League">Arab League</a>.<a href="#cite_note-140">[136]</a> On 21 September 2004, the G4 nations issued a joint statement mutually backing each other's claim to permanent status, together with two African countries. Currently the proposal has to be accepted by two-thirds of the General Assembly (128 votes). The permanent members, each holding the right of veto, announced their positions on Security Council reform reluctantly. The United States has unequivocally supported the permanent membership of Japan and lent its support to India and a small number of additional non-permanent members. The United Kingdom and France have essentially supported the G4 position, with the expansion of permanent and non-permanent members and the accession of Germany, Brazil, India and Japan to permanent member status, as well as an increase in the presence of African countries on the Council. China has supported stronger representation of developing countries and has firmly opposed Japan's membership.<a href="#cite_note-141">[137]</a> In 2017, it was reported that the G4 nations were willing temporarily to forgo <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_veto_power" title="United Nations Security Council veto power">veto power</a> if granted <a href="/wiki/Permanent_members_of_the_United_Nations_Security_Council" title="Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council">permanent UNSC seats</a>.<a href="#cite_note-142">[138]</a> In September 2017, <a href="/wiki/US_Representatives" class="mw-redirect" title="US Representatives">US Representatives</a> <a href="/wiki/Ami_Bera" title="Ami Bera">Ami Bera</a> and <a href="/wiki/Frank_Pallone" title="Frank Pallone">Frank Pallone</a> introduced a resolution (H.Res.535) in the <a href="/wiki/US_House_of_Representatives" class="mw-redirect" title="US House of Representatives">US House of Representatives</a> (<a href="/wiki/115th_United_States_Congress" title="115th United States Congress">115th United States Congress</a>), seeking support for the elevation of <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a> to permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council.<a href="#cite_note-US_Congress_India_UNSC-143">[139]</a> Whilst discussions on expanding permanent membership to individual nations such as the G4 continue, alternative proposals have been put forward to reconsider the structure of the Security Council. The Noble World Foundation (NWF) proposes a novel approach, suggesting that UNSC membership and veto power be shifted from individual states to sovereignty-pooling organizations like the European Union (EU). This proposal aligns with the UNSC's practice of regionally-based selection of non-permanent members, aiming to improve the Council's decision-making and effectiveness. The EU serves as a primary example of such pooled sovereignty, especially following the European Court of Justice's 1964 ruling that established the precedence of EU law over national laws of its member states. The NWF advocates that regional entities like the EU could be eligible for UN membership in the Security Council, enabling a significant reform without necessitating an amendment to the UN Charter.<a
