MISSION AND PURPOSE IN FULL

Security Council Report (SCR) is an independent not-for-profit organisation. It was founded on the belief that consistent, balanced, high-quality information about the activities of the United Nations Security Council and its subordinate bodies is essential to the effective performance of the Council and that this information should also be available to a wider group of stakeholders and the general public.

To that end, SCR publishes an objective and analytical monthly report on the Council's current and prospective programme of work. This is supplemented by longer published reports on key thematic and structural issues confronting the Council and a regular feed for UN members of insights on developments in the Council and breaking news.

Upon request, SCR works with incoming Council members on a one to one basis to help build capacity. More widely SCR works with Council members and a range of stakeholders to deepen the analysis of issues before the Council. SCR is neutral and does not take positions on the substance of issues before the Council.
