The Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members, and each Member has one vote. Under the UN Charter, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions.

Shortly after the election of the five new members of the Security Council, their representatives will need to become thoroughly familiar with the issues before the Council and its methods of work, so that they may be ready to start their mandate on 1 January 2016. This intensive two-day orientation course aims at providing such information to the new delegates.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to: Describe the functions, practices and procedures of the Security Council; Identify and assess the main issues before the Council; Determine the role of the President of the Council and informal consultations; Understand the mandate components of current peacekeeping and political missions; Analyse the highlights of the Security Council Practice, Working Documents, Meeting Records, and Subsidiary Bodies.
