A) Analysis of the Composition of the United Nations Security Council is as follows:
I) The Security Council consists of fifteen members. There are five permanent members and ten non-permanent
II) Five permanent members are - the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China.
III) Ten 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.
B) Difference in privileges of the permanent and non-permanent members:
I) We must understand the fact that these five states were selected as permanent members because they were the most powerful states immediately after the Second World War and were victors in the war.
II) These permanent members have the privilege of Veto power. This means that they can vote in a negative manner to stall a decision (because of this privilege.)
III) These decisions are binding on all UN members. Non - permanent members do not have such privileges.
