The inaugural session of the United Nations Security Council took place in London after the establishment of the United Nations in 1945. The purpose of the Security Council is to maintain international peace and security, an essential goal in the aftermath of World War II. The founding members—China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—along with six other nations convened on this occasion to discuss pressing global challenges. The session signified the beginning of a collective approach to international governance and conflict resolution, emphasizing collaboration over unilateral action. During this first meeting, the delegates addressed concerns including territorial disputes and the prevention of future wars.The UNC Security Council was unique at its inception, as it was given the power to enforce decisions through sanctions and military action if necessary, differing from its predecessor, the League of Nations. The representatives engaged in a range of discussions including the establishment of rules of procedure and the identification of threats. This initial assembly set the stage for the regular meetings that would follow, where members would engage in debates that shaped the course of international relations for decades to come. The first resolution, addressing the question of the treatment of nations, was adopted during this session, showcasing the Council's authority in dealing with international crises.
