As of 31st July 2025, United Nations Security Council has how many members including permanent and non-permanent members?
15
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs of the UN and is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
It has a total of 15 members, a figure fixed since 1965 (raised from the original 11).
Five of these are permanent members with veto power: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States (the P5).
The remaining 10 are non-permanent members elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms, with seats distributed across regional groups.
So \(5 + 10 = 15\). Options 4, 7 and 11 understate this: 11 was the old pre-1965 strength, while 4 and 7 do not correspond to the Council's composition at all.
So the total number of members is 15.
