MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL

OBJECTIVE OF ASEANAPOL
DANIEL A. BAUTISTA III, 2ND YR BSC 1-A
 MEMBERS OF THE
SECURITY COUNCIL

The Security Council has primary

responsibility for the maintenance of
international peace and security. It has
15 Members, and each Member has one
vote. Under the Charter of the United
Nations, all Member States are obligated
to comply with Council decisions.
“ According to Oppenheim's International Law: United Nations, "Permanent membership in
the Security Council was granted to five states based on their importance in the aftermath
of World War II." Sometimes referred to as the P5, the permanent members of the Security
Council have a unique role that has evolved over time. Since the international community
considered that without them the UN was doomed to fail in its mission, a compromise was

”
accepted in the form of a veto power for the permanent five members.

P5 / BIG 5
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.
 The remaining 10 members of the UN Security
Council are elected by the General Assembly, giving a total of 15 UN
member states. Elected members hold their place on the council for
a two-year term, and half of these places are contested each year. To
ensure geographical continuity, a certain number of members is
allocated for each of the five UN regional groupings. Set the pattern
for geographic representation as follows:

 5 from African and Asian States

 1 from Eastern European States
 2 from Latin American States
 2 from Western European and other States
The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to
the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it
by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of
settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing
sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore
international peace and security.
