CEVAP:

The UN Security Council is the central organ in the UN system. The primary responsibility of the UNSC is the maintenance of international peace and security. The UNSC therefore has broad powers: it can investigate disputes that may pose a threat to international peace and security, and make recommendations toward resolving disputes peacefully. The Security Council has also powers to take diplomatic or economic measures against an aggressor state. Most importantly, it can authorize military action (Bookmiller, 2008: 54). 

Together with the General Assembly, the UNSC takes part in the election of the UN Secretary-General, judges to the ICJ, and new members of the UN.

The Security Council has no regular meeting schedule. It is in permanent session to meet at any time so as to respond effectively to international conflicts and crises.
