United Nations Security Council,


In an era crowded with initiatives, the United Nations Security Council stands alone in its Charter-mandated authority to act on behalf of all Member States on questions of peace and security.

The Security Council alone adopts decisions binding on all. No other body or ad-hoc coalition can legally require all Member States to comply with decisions on peace and security. Only the Security Council can authorize the use of force under international law, as set out in the UN Charter.

Its responsibility is singular. Its obligation is universal. That is why reform is essential. That is why we must act without delay to enhance the representation and effectiveness of the Security Council.
