The Security Council of the United Nations is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security. It is the only group or agency within the UN that can make decisions which are binding on all members of the United Nations.
The Security Council has the authority to send peacekeeping forces into conflict zones and to impose sanctions on member states of the UN that are deemed to be acting against the cause of peace.

to make merchants pay the duty. </span>
