The '''United Nations Security Council''' ('''UNSC''') is the organ of the [[United Nations]] charged with maintaining [[peace]] and [[security]] among [[nation]]s. While other organs of the United Nations only make recommendations to member [[government]]s, the Security Council has the power to make decisions; which member governments must carry out under the [[United Nations Charter]]. The decisions of the Council are known as [[United Nations Security Council Resolution]]s.

A [[UN member states|UN member State]], is obligated to respect the [[United Nations Charter]] and UN members are bound by its articles. [[Turkey]] is the only [[United Nations member states|UN member]] that violates articles of the charter against the UN member [[Republic of Cyprus]]. [[Turkey]] does not recognize the existence of the [[Republic of Cyprus]], nor the [[Zürich and London Agreement]][http://www.byegm.gov.tr/REFERENCES/cyprus-mfa.htm] which established the Republic of Cyprus. Instead Turkey refers to the Republic of Cyprus as the "Greek Cypriot administration of South Cyprus" in violation of multiple UN Resolutions [http://www.mfa.gov.tr/MFA/PressInformation/PressReleasesAndStatements/pressReleases1999/June/June_4_1999.htm][http://www.mfa.gov.tr/MFA/ForeignPolicy/MainIssues/Cyprus/Statement+By+President+Denktaş+In+Response+To+The+Call+Made+By+Greek+Cypriot+Leader+Clerides+For+Tur.htm]

In 1974 [[Turkey]] unilaterally invaded Cyprus and was able to occupy ~38% of the territory of the [[Republic of Cyprus]]. This action partitioned the island, displaced the Greek-Cypriot population (around 200,000 people) from the north occupied part of the island, and in turn catalysed the displacement of Turkish-Cypriots from the south of Cyprus.
