Abstract

This chapter analyses the historical developments and conceptual basis of UN Security Council with its role in maintenance of international peace and security. It brings out the importance of the Security Council’s five members and the application and influence of the permanent veto power in a critical context referring to the various resolutions passed by it and some instances of use of force in South Asia. It also discusses the legality of peacekeeping operations undertaken by the Council and Nehru’s resolve to support it. The conflicts in South Asia and the role of the Security Council are also highlighted in this chapter, including the recent Uri attack in 2016. This chapter also explores the possibility of enhancing and strengthening the role of Security Council in maintaining international peace and security in complex conflict situations by bringing several reforms.
