Answer:
The
UN Security Council is an organ of the United Nations responsible for
maintaining peace and security in the world.
(i) The UN Security Council has 15 members including 5 permanent members.
Its 5 permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the
United States) enjoy the real power and take all crucial decisions.
(ii) Each permanent member has veto power. It means that
the council cannot take a decision if any permanent member says no to that
decision. This shows undemocratic nature of the Security Council.
(iii) Ten other members are elected by the General
Assembly for two-year terms. In reality, they enjoy no powers and are not
decision makers. This system has led more and more people and countries to
protest and
demand that the UN Security Council should be more
democratic.
