From the transcript

On paper, it's perhaps the most powerful club on Earth. A group of world policemen tasked with working together to provide global stability. The most important body in the United Nations, the Security Council, was set up in the aftermath of World War II to peacefully resolve international disputes.

Under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, it's the only UN body with the power to make binding international laws and the only body that can authorize an armed intervention into a conflict zone. As such, someone with little grasp of geopolitics might be forgiven for thinking this is where real power lies.

Yet, in our current era, there'd most likely be a mistake, and far from setting the agenda in 2024, the UN Security Council is mostly paralyzed to the point of useless ness.
