The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the organ of the United Nations charged with maintaining peace and security among nations. While other organs of the United Nations only make recommendations to member governments, the Security Council has the power to make decisions which member governments must carry out under the United Nations Charter. The decisions of the Council are known as United Nations Security Council Resolutions. Presidency of the Security Council is rotated and lasts for one month.
History
The Security Council held its first session on January 17 1946 at Church House, London.
Since this first meeting the Council, which exists in continuous session, has travelled widely, holding meetings in Paris and Addis Ababa for instance. For the most part, however, it has remained located at UN Headquarters – first at Lake Success in New York and then at its current home of Turtle Bay on East Forty-Second Street in New York City.
