Because the Soviet Union at the time was boycotting the Security Council meetings, and Communist China had been refused a seat in the Council; so the two parties most likely to veto the resolutions were not in a position to do so.

Who enforces decisions made by security council?

(U.N. members which volunteer? The United Nations does not have a standing military force equipped with battleships, bombers, and millions of soldiers. So if the Security Council decides that military action must be taken, it must rely on U.N. members to volunteer their armies.This is what happened in 1950. In that year, Communist North Korea attacked South Korea. South Korea then asked the Security Council for help. The Council voted to authorize U.N. members to send military aid to South Korea. The U.S. and fifteen other countries agreed to send soldiers to help South Korea. These soldiers became a U.N. force that saved South Korea from conquest.

How is an action taken by UN security council blocked?

It can't be - the permanent five members of the Security Council have the power to SC resolutions proposed by others but if it is adopted by the UNSC it is binding on all member states of the UN. If a state does not comply, it could be let off simply by the UN not willing to go to the 'next stage' of action, especially if this could result in military action. North Korea has been ignoring the UN for years, either as a result of Russian/Chinese shielding, or the unwillingness of the UN to go to war in Korea...again.

Why has the Security Council often failed to take action when it is needed?

(Action by the Security Council is often blocked by the "great power" veto.)The U.N. Charter (constitution) gives each of the five permanent members of the Security Council the power to block Council action. This power is called the "great power" veto.During the Cold War years, the Soviet Union used its veto hundreds of times and thereby crippled the Security Council. For example, when in 1946 the Greek government asked the Security Council for help in its fight against communist rebels, the Soviet Union blocked this action. One of the few times the Security Council was able to take action was when it voted to stop North Korea's invasion of South Korea. The Soviet Union was not able to veto this action because it was boycotting the U.N. at the time.
