The current international security system, established in the aftermath of World War II, relies heavily on the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to maintain global stability.
These countries, China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US, are also uniquely recognized as nuclear powers under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
However, several other nations have acquired nuclear capabilities outside of this framework, including India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel, with the latter's status remaining ambiguous.
Critics argue that rising tensions between major powers have led to a divided and less effective UN Security Council, with Moscow attributing the situation to Western efforts to preserve a unipolar world order following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
