Abstract
The Security Council was established as a principal organ under the UN Charter, tasked with promoting international peace and security and respect for human rights in all parts of the world; its first meeting was held on 17 January 1946. The UN Charter obligates all member states to comply with Council decisions. The Council has the right to recommend ways and means of achieving a peaceful settlement and, in certain circumstances, the actual terms of settlement. To assist parties to disputes to reach peaceful resolutions through dialogue and mediation, the Council may appoint special envoys, dispatch missions, or request the UN Secretary-General to deploy his good offices. The Security Council has established Standing Committees covering the admission of new members, rules of procedure, holding meetings away from headquarters, and on the creation of a category of associate membership.
