Abstract

With the growing demand for long-term institutions trusted to resolve various issues in international relations, international organizations began to develop rapidly in the 19th century. The United Nations (UN) has a primary mission of maintaining world peace and security. To achieve this mission, the UN is mandated to assist countries facing conflict, especially when those countries are unable to resolve their problems on their own. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, which began in 2014 and escalated in 2022, has attracted global attention and had a significant impact at the international level. In this regard, the role of the United Nations (UN) is crucial in understanding how this organization attempts to resolve disputes between two sovereign states. The type of research used by the author is normative legal research. After data has been collected comprehensively from various sources, such as libraries, literature, media, the internet, and other valid sources, data analysis is carried out by compiling and processing the data to obtain conclusions. The Security Council's primary function is to maintain international peace and security. The Council serves as a platform for rapid decision-making in crisis situations such as civil war, international terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and transnational aggression.  In dealing with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the UN Security Council can only act as a mediator because Russia, as a member of the Security Council, has veto power, which allows Russia to reject decisions taken by the Security Council.
