Established by the UN Charter as one of the six main organs of the United
Nations, the Security Council has primary responsibility for maintaining
international peace and security. It may meet whenever such peace is
threatened.
The first meeting of the Security Council took place on January 17, 1946 in
London. Since then, the Security Council has moved to New York, where it has
permanent residence at the UN Headquarters. Representatives from all member
countries must always be present in order to ensure the possibility for
meeting at any time.
