Which UN body is responsible for maintaining international peace with the power to make binding decisions?

Shipping Lane

Security Council

The main idea is that the UN Security Council has the authority to make binding decisions on international peace and security. As a principal organ of the United Nations, it can adopt resolutions that member states are legally obliged to implement, especially when it determines a threat to peace and invokes Chapter VII to authorize measures such as sanctions or military action. This distinguishes it from other bodies, like the General Assembly, which can discuss issues and issue recommendations but cannot compel member states to follow its resolutions. The other options aren’t UN bodies at all: a shipping lane is just a maritime route, a single market is an economic concept, and a tariff is a tax. The Security Council is the body charged with maintaining international peace and enforcing binding decisions.
