What else should you know about Security Council?

A small committee modeled on the UN Security Council (15 members, 5 of them permanent with a veto on substantive votes). Debate is faster and more detailed, and the five permanent members' positions shape every resolution. Some conferences add crisis updates to Security Council sessions.
