| Summary / Abstract (Note) | MANY PEOPLE think of the UN as a place where people dressed in sharp business suits, with a serious air, make decisions that are often crucial for the fate of entire countries and nations. And they are not very far from the truth. The world's universal organization, which is marking its 70th anniversary, indeed deals with very important things: the maintenance of international peace and security, development problems, the eradication of diseases and poverty, the promotion of social progress and providing better living standards for people throughout the world - in short, everything that is recorded in the UN Charter, which was adopted 70 years ago. This, as they say, is no joking matter. Suffice it to say that resolutions that are adopted by the UN's leading body, the Security Council, are legally binding documents in international law. Failure to observe them can have very serious consequences, including enforcement measures, for a member state guilty of such transgression.
