Security Council Resolutions are formal decisions made by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to address international issues, such as conflicts, peacekeeping, and sanctions. These resolutions are binding for all member states and aim to maintain or restore international peace and security. They can include measures like military action, economic sanctions, or diplomatic efforts. Each resolution is identified by a unique number and typically includes a preamble explaining the situation and the operative clauses detailing the actions to be taken. The adoption of a resolution requires at least nine votes in favor from the 15 member states, including the concurring votes of the five permanent members: China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States.
