Which of the following countries is not a permanent member of U.N. Security Council?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Germany
The UN Security Council has five permanent members with veto power: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Germany is not one of them; it has served only as an elected non-permanent member and, with India, Brazil and Japan (the G4), seeks a permanent seat.
