Conflict of interest among permanent members is one of the biggest challenges the UN is facing in its mission. For example, in a country such as Syria, where there has been conflicting for nearly a decade now. It is unfortunate that permanent members are divided over opinions over the action to take with the Russian government supporting the incumbent Syrian president and even supplying the government with sophisticated weapons. It is for this reason that the Syrian war has gone for so long without any apparent intervention from the Security Council.
Another challenge facing the body is delayed decision making on resolutions on how to tackle the insecurity challenges. This has been made worse by some members’ reluctance to support its operations. Such delays are the reasons for extreme bloodshed in some countries. For example, the 1994 Rwandan Genocide reached extreme proportions because of delayed decision making.

Civil strife and unrests in developing countries are also causing a challenge to UN Security Council peacekeeping mission. Most of these unrests are created by long-serving presidents failing to relinquish power and hence making the citizens go on civil disobedience oust them such unrests have been seen in the Northern African countries, middle east nations, and Venezuela.
Another big challenge facing the UN Security Council is insufficient funds and manpower to maintain their operations. UN depends on contributions from member states. Sometimes some members do not make their contribution in time, and this sabotages the operations of the council.
