Section E38. United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in 2024
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is an organ of the United Nations that is responsible for preserving global peace and global security. However, the structure of the UNSC is based on the outcome of WWII, rather than on the current global order in terms of superpowers. Considering that, the UNSC includes 5 permanent members: USA, Russia, China, the UK, and France, while the combination of the 10 non-permanent members is changed each year, yet each non-permanent member serves in the UNSC for a term of two years. Moreover, the regional combination of the UNSC includes 3 members from Africa, 3 members from Asia-Pacific, 2 members from East Europe, 2 members from Latin America and the Caribbean, and 2 from West Europe and other states, so even the regional combination of the UNSC does not reflect the current global order. Importantly, on the contrary to the United Nations General Assembly that all its decisions are not binding, then the UNSC is the only UN organ that has the authority to get resolutions that are binding on all member states, still, the Veto-Right leads usually to useless resolutions because in too many cases one of the permanent members of the UNSC uses its Veto-Right (see Global Risks by Dr. Ziva Rozen-Bakher, 25 February 2023, United Nations: Rubber Stamp?, https://www.rozen-bakher.com/forum/2023/02/25/un). Thus, the UNSC gives a good indication regarding the Political Fight between the Superpowers. In the light of the above, this section includes the following four analyses: i) UNSC in 2024 by 2024 Global Survival Rank (E38.1). ii) Permanent Members versus Non-Permanent Members of UNSC in 2024 (E38.2). iii) UNSC in 2024 by Region (E38.3). iv) Comparing the USA Coalition versus the Russia-China Coalition in UNSC in 2024 (E38.4).
