The Security Council plays a key role in keeping the peace.

Except when the interests of its constituent members hampers, rather than furthers, the goal of "keeping the peace" - which is not, or at least should not be, the peace of the grave. The UN was established to maintain the STATUS QUO, and does not respond to crisis well in the least. In many of the most striking instances, the UNSC has only been effective when it has been broken. Korea, for example. When a fundamental shift in the international system occurs, as has happened since Sept. 11, it fails nearly altogether apparently.
