Answer 2

Answer:

The security council is the most important and powerful organ of the United Nations.

It is the executive wing of the United Nations.

It has two types of members - permanent and non permanent.

The five permanent members are - China, France, Russia, The United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA).

They have the veto power ( The power to give a negative vote against the resolution ; If any of the five permanent members of the security council votes against the resolution, it cannot be passed ; Thus, all resolutions must get 'Yes' vote from all the "Big five" before it can be passed.)

The ten non permanent members are elected for a term of two years.

The security council meets once a month or as and when required.
