Question

Which of the following country is not a permanent member in UN Security Council?
1. USA
2. UK
3. Germany
4. France

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Germany

•  The permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (also known as the Permanent Five, Big Five, or P5) are the five sovereign states to whom the UN Charter of 1945 grants a permanent seat on the UN Security Council: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States
• The permanent members were all allies in World War II (and the victors of that war), and are also all states with nuclear weapons (though only the United States had developed nuclear weapons prior to the formation of the United Nations).
• The remaining 10 members of the council are elected by the General Assembly, giving a total of 15 UN member states.
• All five permanent members have the power of veto, which enables any one of them to prevent the adoption of any "substantive" draft Council resolution, regardless of its level of international support.

Hence, Germany is not a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
