"The second body of the United Nation is the Security Council. Its roles and responsibilities are defined Under the United Nations Charter, the functions and powers of the Security Council are to maintain international peace and security in accordance with the principles and purposes of the United Nations, to investigate any dispute or situation which might lead to international friction, to recomnd thods of adjusting such disputes or the terms of the settlent, to formulate plans for the establishnt of a system to regulate armants.
"To determine the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression and to recomnd what action should be taken, to call on mbers to apply economic sanctions and other asures not involving the use of force to prevent or stop aggression, to take military action against an aggressor, to recomnd the admission of new mbers, to exercise the trusteeship functions of the United Nations in strategic areas, to recomnd to the General Assembly the appointnt of the Secretary-General and, together with the Assembly, to elect the Judges of the International Court of Justice."
Alexander morized the United Nations Charter, so he was able to speak about all the roles and responsibilities of the Security Council without having to look at the paper, as it won't look cool to him.
"It's pretty self-explanatory. So, Mister Pri Minister of the Yamato Empire, are the powers of the United Nation clear to you?"
"With all due respect, Emperor of the Ruthenia Empire. Your tone and words are a little bit implicating, aren't they? Why are you assuming that we would take aggressive actions toward our neighbor? Isn't it a bit rude? I thought we have co here to discuss the creation of an organization that will keep the world safe?"
Alexander closed his eyes as if he had realized it by himself. The Pri Minister of the Yamato Empire has a point, he is being prickly. It must be because of the recent conflict between the two where his sisters were nearly killed. That's understandable but he is in the eting of creating the United Nation, he must be objective and remove prejudice from his systems to get this thing going.
"I apologize to Mister Pri Minister for my words," Alexander acknowledged his mistake. "I was just making a point to make it clear to everyone."
"To make a point and brand as a barbaric country who only knows violence. Is that the point you are trying to make?" the pri minister retorted.
"I never said, Mister Pri Minister. Please, behave yourself now, we are still in the middle of the session. I apologize once again. I have never ant anything in my words."
"Fine, just don't do it again, please. I just asked a question, and yet you acted too aggressively. Now, expect that the others won't raise questions as they may fear being called out on live television."
Alexander rubbed the bridge of his nose, disappointed to himself.
"Please continue, Your Majesty," Diana stepped in to cool down what could be a heated argunt by prompting Alexander to resu.
"Okay, that was unprofessional of , so let's proceed. The Security Council will consist of five countries that are economically and militarily strong. The first mber will be us, The Ruthenian Empire, the Britannian Empire, the United States, the Yamato Empire, and the Deutschland Empire."
"May I object?" The Pri Minister of the Francois Republic stood. "What was the basis of selection for the permanent seat for the United Nation Security Council? Are you saying, Your Majesty, that we aren't strong enough to be part of the permanent seats?"
"This is according to the data we have collected, the Francois Republic fell short of the Deutschland Empire. Nothing personal."
"Nothing personal? I don't believe it. Sorry to say, Your Majesty, but this is too much, I don't think we can stay through the end if we are not being treated fairly. Besides, you must have made so sort of a deal with those countries you selected."
"Pri Minister Clenceau, you are to remain in your seat. We are working for global peace here and you are going to leave it because you are not selected? I wasn't finished. The Security Council will be made up of eight mbers and your country is included there."
"But is there a way for us to beco a permanent mber of the Security Council?" Benjamin asked.
"There is a way but it'll be a long process. The sa goes for kicking out a permanent mber. You heard that right. A permanent mber of the Security Council may be removed if the mber violated the charter that it swore to fulfill. There's no room for an exception here, not even . Now you know how serious I am in developing this intergovernntal organization."
"Thank you for clarifying it, Your Majesty," Benjamin said as he returned to his seat reluctantly. Still bitter at the fact that they weren't part of the permanent seat. It was their country that had helped the Ruthenia Empire industrialize, and this is how they are going to repay them?
'This is ridiculous,' Benjamin thought inwardly.
"Okay, the non-permanent mber of the United Council would be the Francois Republic, Republic of China, and Sardegna Empire. After two years the position for the non-permanent mbers will be elected each year by the General Assembly for a two-year term. Well, that sums up the Security Council. Let's move on to the next, which is the Economic and Social Council."
The delegates flipped the pages of the docunt, and read the content.
"The Economic and Social Council, according to article sixty-two the Economic and Social Council may make or initiate studies and reports with respect to international economic, social, cultural, educational, health, and related matters and may make recomndations with respect to any such matters to the General Assembly to the mbers of the United Nations, and to the specialized agencies concerned. Article sixty-three, sixty-four, and sixty-five is where you can find more about the aforentioned council. But basically, the council deals with the economic and humanitarian issues across the globe," Alexander said, stretching his neck as he was looking at the docunt and speaking to the delegates for about thirty minutes."
"Last three would be the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice, and the UN Secretariat. The Trusteeship Council is the one who will supervise the administration of trust territories as they transition from colonies to sovereign nations. So territories that are forrly held by great powers, when there is one, could seek protection from the United Nation. They also have the right to join the United Nation as long as they accept the charter. The International Court of Justice is the supre court of the world, and the Secretariat Secretariat carries out the substantive and administrative work of the United Nations as directed by the General Assembly, the Security Council, and the other organs."
From there, an in-depth discussion started about the three bodies, and it lasted for about three hours. The delegates asked questions for clarification and Alexander answered them while referring them to the charter.
And after three hours, Alexander stood.
"So everyone, I hope you have understood the essence and importance of the United Nation. With that said, if any of you are interested in joining the United Nation. You can be formally admitted by signing the papers that will be given to you later. You have one week to decide. That's all, the convention is adjourned," Alexander concluded the convention and prepared to leave the hall.
He heaved a huge sigh of relief, at last, it was finished. That's one down in one of his bucket lists before he can fully retire from his position.
