United Nations Security Council

Read a random definition: synodal

A quick definition of United Nations Security Council:

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is a group of countries that work together to keep the world safe and peaceful. They make important decisions that all member countries have to follow. The UNSC has five very important countries that are always members, and ten other countries that are chosen for a short time. If there is a problem that might cause a fight or war, the UNSC tries to help the countries talk and find a peaceful solution. If that doesn't work, they might use other ways to stop the fighting, like making rules about trade or sending soldiers to keep the peace.

A more thorough explanation:

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC, or UN Security Council) is a group of countries that work together to keep the world peaceful. It was created in 1946 and has five countries that are always members: the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, China, and France. These countries have special powers called veto power, which means they can stop any decision the council makes. There are also ten other countries that are members for two years at a time.

The UNSC makes decisions that all countries in the United Nations have to follow. For example, if two countries are fighting and it might cause a bigger war, the UNSC will try to make them stop fighting. They might send in peacekeepers to help keep the peace or they might stop trading with the countries that are fighting. If things get really bad, they might even use military force to stop the fighting.

One example of the UNSC in action is when they sent peacekeepers to help stop a war in Bosnia in the 1990s. The peacekeepers helped keep the peace and made sure that people were safe. Another example is when the UNSC put sanctions on North Korea to try to stop them from building nuclear weapons. This meant that other countries couldn't trade with North Korea, which made it harder for them to get the things they needed to build the weapons.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
