It also called the composition undemocratic.

The body also accepts new members to the UN.
It is vested with powers for the establishment of peacekeeping operations and the establishment of international sanctions.
The Council has the authorisation for military action through Security Council resolutions and it is the only UN body with the authority to issue binding resolutions to member states.
The body has five permanent members. They are Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, France, China, and the United States.
10 non-permanent members of the body are elected on a regional basis to serve two-year terms, while the five permanent members can veto any substantive Security Council resolution, including those on the admission of new member states or candidates for Secretary-General.
