Summary/Abstract: The article assesses the activity of the Security Council in 2019. It explains the reasons behind Russia’s and China’s vetoes concerning the situation in the Middle East and Venezuela, and the discussion blockade on the situation in Ukraine and Myanmar. It describes the main trends in decisions on country and regional situations, as well as in the adoption of thematic resolutions. In addition, it summarizes the progress of peacekeeping operations and the impact of Polish membership in the Security Council. The article argues that some problems which cause political tension are currently “juridicized”; that Russia and China oppose inclusion of Human Rights issues in the Security Council works; and that Poland concludes its membership with rather meagre results.
