The concept of collective security represents international arrangments defining
international peace and security threats and the collective means of struggle against
these threats. The key issues hindering implementation of collective security and
effective functioning of the United Nations and the Security Council - its key body
responsible for international peace and security are considerably high. If we group the
international legal issues that hinder the implementation of the collective security
concept, they may be divided into the following main groups: the UN Security
Council's decision-making procedures, in particular, the abuse of the veto right by the
UN Security Council permanent members, attempts to create new grounds for the use
of force and misuse of individual/collective self-defense.
