-10 rotating members
-need 9 votes for a resolution, but a single veto from a big 5 member can stop it. this is problematic because it is difficult to pass resolutions whens needed, it’s a little exclusive to the interests of the big 5 and there is taxation without representation (because rotating members do not always have a say)
The decisions pertain to international peace and security including the dispatch of UN peacekeeping forces.
The second completes the missing link in the first – combined, a 4.

A body of five great powers (which can veto resolutions †’ problematic because it is difficult to pass resolutions and it is exclusive to the interests of the big five) and ten rotating member states that make decisions about international peace and security including the dispatch of UN peacekeeping forces.
