The correct answer is Option 3 - 10 The United Nations Security Council has 10 non-permanent members. In the Security Council, there are five permanent members and ten non-permanent members. The Charter gave the permanent members a privileged position to bring about stability in the world after the Second World War. The main privileges of the five permanent members are permanency and the veto power. The non-permanent members serve for only two years at a time and give way after that period to newly elected members. A country cannot be re-elected immediately after completing a term of two years. The non- permanent members are elected in a manner so that they represent all continents of the world. |
