The role of the UN Security Council in protecting the natural environment

Abstract

The UN Security Council represents one of the most important organs dedicated to maintaining international peace and security, which has been put to the test in recent years due to the multiplication of sources of threats to human safety so that the latter has not become limited to those in which people have a hand, as is the case with armed conflicts, but rather It also extends to include natural disasters that affect the world in various parts of the world. On this basis, members of the international community cannot ignore the risks posed by the natural environment, as it is a new source of risks that may affect the safety of individuals.

This study aims to explore the various possibilities through which it is possible to raise the competence of the UN Security Council to respond to urgent cases that affect the safety of individuals as a result of natural disasters that affect the world in its various forms.
