The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security. The Historical Security Council hardly needs any further explanations, since the Security Council mandate has been clearly defined as having the "primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security".
