What is Security Council?

Image
     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, all Member States are obligated to comply with  Council decisions.      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.      The Security Council also recommends to the General Assembly the appointment of the Secretary-General and the admission of new Members to the United Nations. And, together with the General Assembly, it elects the judges of the International Court of Justice.

“Deathly weapons nowadays”      Humanity has come so far, that it has taken advantage of the new and great scientific progress. It is inevitable to think of the catastrophic and ill-fated results that the constant use of these powerful weapons can cause. A terrifying future to which we approach with great strides, being pushed by those who misuse chemical weapons.      Clearly important organizations have pumped their thinking about the use of chemically aggressive weapons, such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in charge of taking detailed care of human health. "Any nation that creates, maintains, or dares to use chemical weapons must be considered to be a threat to not only its own population - but other populations around the world as well."1 Without a doubt, the use of these highly dangerous weapons has a lack of common sense, because of the use that has been given in this war, the UN has already concluded that the Assad regime us...

Artículo de opinión

“Siria y las armas químicas”        ¿Un país que mata a sus propios ciudadanos? Así es como países como Turquía, Estados Unidos y los rebeldes sirios hacen ver a  la Rep ú blica Árabe Siria. Sin embargo, siendo enemigos en la guerra siria, no es inesperado que un país como Estados Unidos diga mentiras con el fin de involucrarse en guerras, que, bajo ningún motivo, son de su incumbencia.  Un ejemplo ser í a la guerra de Iraq, en la que, según Estados Unidos, Iraq tenía armas de destrucción masivas con motivo de vendérselas a terroristas. La ONU mand ó  investigadores a Iraq, y señalaron que Iraq no poseía dicho armamento, sin embargo, Estados unidos inicio la guerra a pesar de la investigación de la ONU. Ante esto, la ONU  no hizo nada   a pesar de que la carta de las Naciones Unidas, en su artículo  n°  2, dice: "Los Miembros de la Organización, en sus relaciones internacionales, se abstendrán de recurrir a la amenaza o a...

Using chemical weapons during the war in Syria cause severe problems in the world, as well as for the government of Syria, as well as for its citizens and the countries that border it. The United Nations blames Syria for several attacks that have been caused in the same Syrian territory, being clear responses to the rebellion of its citizens. The use of chemical weapons can be observed in the context of the Syrian Civil War. On September 2013, a bill was filed to authorize the use of military force against the Syrian military, mainly in response to the use of sarin in the Goutha attack on August 2013. Later that month, the Sergey Lavrov Russian foreign minister announced that Russia had s...
