United Nations Security Council a body of the United Nations tasked with keeping international peace. Located at U.N. headquarters in New York City, it was originally comprised of eleven members with five permanent members representing China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and six nonpermanent representatives. In 1965 the body was amended to a fifteen-member council, composed of the same five permanent members and ten nonpermanent members. On substantive issues all five permanent members must be included in the affirmative vote, unless a member abstains, and permanent members have veto power. The Council may advise U.N. members to seek diplomatic or economic sanctions, and military action by U.N. forces may follow if sanctions prove inadequate.
