Which institution boasts the UK as a member of its Security Council?

The United Nations, often shortened to UN, is a massive international organization founded in 1945 after World War II to promote peace and cooperation among nations. Think of it as a global forum where countries can discuss issues, resolve conflicts, and work together on shared challenges like climate change, poverty, and disease. The UN Security Council is one of its most powerful bodies, responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It has 15 members, but only five are permanent members with veto power: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The UK has been a permanent member since the UN's inception, reflecting its historical role as a major world power. The European Parliament, on the other hand, is specific to the European Union and deals with EU laws and policies. The UK Parliament is the national legislature of the United Kingdom, responsible for making laws that apply within the UK itself. So, while the UK is obviously a key player in its own parliament, and was formerly involved in the European Parliament, it's the United Nations Security Council where the UK sits as a permanent member on the global stage.
Picture a 'United' crown (symbolizing the UK) as a member of a global 'Nation' or council.
