United Nations member states
Information about United Nations member states
)
A map of UN member states and their dependent territories as recognized by the UN. Regions excluded: Antarctica (regulated by the Antarctic Treaty System), Vatican City (the Holy See is a UN observer), the Palestinian territories (Palestine, represented by the Palestine Liberation Organization, is a UN observer), and Western Sahara (status in dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front). The UN considers Taiwan administered by the Republic of China as "Taiwan, Province of China" and also considers the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate representative of China.
According to the United Nations Charter, Chapter 2, Article 4, the admission of any state to membership in the UN "will be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council."[1] In principle, only sovereign states can become UN members, and today all UN members are fully sovereign states. However, four of the original members (Belarus, India, the Philippines, and Ukraine) were not independent at the time of their admission. Moreover, because a state can only be admitted by the approval of the Security Council and the General Assembly, some entities which may be considered sovereign states according to the Montevideo Convention are not members due to the fact that the UN do not consider them to be sovereign states, the lack of international recognition or opposition from certain members.
International organizations, non-governmental organizations, and entities whose statehood or sovereignty are not precisely defined, can only become United Nations General Assembly observers, allowing them to speak, but not vote, in General Assembly meetings.
Current members
)
UN member states displayed by the decade in which they joined the UN.
The members are listed below by alphabetical order in their short-form English names, with their respective dates of admission. There were 51 original members of the UN which were admitted in 1945, of which 49 are either still in the organization or had their seats taken by a successor state (e.g., the USSR's seat was succeeded by Russia). The other two original members were Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, as both had dissolved and their seats were not succeeded by any state (see Former members: Czechoslovakia and Former members: Yugoslavia respectively). For China's seat in the UN, the Republic of China was replaced by the People's Republic of China on 25 October 1971, even though the governments of both have existed well before and after this date (see Seat of China).

Former members
Czechoslovakia
){kind=small}
Czechoslovakia joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945. On 10 December 1992, Czechoslovakia informed the United Nations Secretary-General that it would cease to exist after 31 December 1992, and that both its successor states, the ){kind=small}
Czech Republic and Slovakia, would apply for UN membership. They were admitted on 19 January 1993.
East Germany and West Germany
Both the){kind=small}
German Democratic Republic (i.e., East Germany) and the ){kind=small}
Federal Republic of Germany (i.e., West Germany) were admitted on 18 September 1973. Germany was reunified when the German Democratic Republic acceeded to the Federal Republic of Germany on 3 October 1990.
Tanganyika and Zanzibar
){kind=small}
Tanganyika was admitted on 14 December 1961, and ){kind=small}
Zanzibar was admitted on 16 December 1963. ){kind=small}
Tanzania was formed when the two countries merged to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar on 26 April 1964, which later changed its name to the United Republic of Tanzania on 1 November 1964.
United Arab Republic
Both){kind=small}
Egypt and ){kind=small}
Syria joined the UN as original members on 24 October 1945. The United Arab Republic was formed by an union of the two countries following a plebiscite on 21 February 1958, and continued as a single member in the UN until 13 October 1961, when Syria, having resumed its status as an independent state, resumed its separate membership in the UN. Egypt continued as a UN member under the name United Arab Republic until 2 September 1971, when it changed its name to the Arab Republic of Egypt.
USSR
The){kind=small}
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was one of the five original founders of the UN in 1945 and joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945. On 24 December 1991, upon the imminent dissolution of the USSR, Boris Yeltsin, the President of Russia, informed the United Nations Secretary-General that the membership of the USSR in the UN (including its permanent seat on the Security Council) was being continued by Russia with the support of the 11 member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The remaining former Soviet Republics are currently all UN members:
Belarus and 
Ukraine had already joined the UN as original members on 24 October 1945, represented by the Byelorussian SSR and the Ukrainian SSR respectively until their independence in 1991.
Estonia, 
Latvia and 
Lithuania were admitted on 17 September 1991.
Armenia, 
Azerbaijan, 
Kazakhstan, 
Kyrgyzstan, 
Moldova, 
Tajikistan, 
Turkmenistan, and 
Uzbekistan were admitted on 2 March 1992.
Georgia was admitted on 31 July 1992.
North and South Yemen
){kind=small}
Yemen (i.e., North Yemen) was admitted on 30 September 1947, first represented by the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen, then by the Yemen Arab Republic. ){kind=small}
Democratic Yemen (i.e., South Yemen) was originally admitted as "Southern Yemen" on 14 December 1967, represented by the People's Republic of South Yemen, which later changed its name to the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Yemen was unified when the two countries merged to form the Republic of Yemen on 22 May 1990.
Yugoslavia
){kind=small}
Yugoslavia joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, represented by the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, which later changed its name to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had been dissolved by 1992, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed on 28 April 1992 by the former Yugoslav Republics of Serbia and Montenegro. By General Assembly resolution A/RES/47/1 on 22 September 1992, the UN "considers that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) cannot continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations, and therefore decides that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the General Assembly."
The former Yugoslav Republics are currently all UN members:
- Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Croatia and Slovenia were admitted on 22 May 1992.
- The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was admitted on 8 April 1993, pending settlement of the difference that had arisen over its name.
- The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was admitted on 1 November 2000, replacing, instead of succeeding, the membership of Yugoslavia in the UN held by the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which officially remained a UN member until that day. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia changed its name to
Serbia and Montenegro on 4 February 2003. Since the declaration of independence by Montenegro on 3 June 2006, the membership of Serbia and Montenegro in the UN has been continued by Serbia on the basis of Article 60 of the Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro.
Montenegro was admitted on 28 June 2006.
){kind=small}
Seat of China
China, represented by the government of the
){kind=small}
Republic of China (ROC), was one of the five original founders of the UN in 1945 and joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945. However, as a result of the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang-controlled ROC government fled to Taiwan in 1949, with the Communist government of the ){kind=small}
People's Republic of China (PRC), declared on 1 October 1949, taking control of most of the territory of China. Representatives of the ROC government continued to represent China at the UN, despite the small size of the ROC's jurisdiction of Taiwan (and other islands not considered part of Taiwan Province) compared to the PRC's jurisdiction of mainland China, until 25 October 1971, when General Assembly resolution 2758 was passed, recognising the PRC government as the only legitimate representative of China at the UN, and expelling the representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek-led ROC government from the UN. This effectively transferred the seat of China in the UN (including its permanent seat on the Security Council) from the ROC to the PRC.
Bids for membership by Taiwan
Since 1991, the Republic of China has repeatedly petitioned to rejoin the UN, as the representative of the people of Taiwan only, instead of all of China, using the designation "Republic of China on Taiwan", "Republic of China (Taiwan)", or just "Taiwan" (as proposed by the current Democratic Progressive Party government). However, all attempts have been denied, either because the petition failed to get sufficient votes to get on the formal agenda, or because the application was rejected by the UN, due primarily to the opposition of the People's Republic of China. The ROC has also been denied participation in the UN as an "observer state", a position held by the Holy See, or as a "non-member entity", a title currently granted to Palestine (see Observers and non-members).In July 2007, the current Chen Shui-bian-led ROC government submitted the ROC's 15th application to join the UN, and its first under the name "Taiwan", but its application was rejected by the UN Office of Legal Affairs, citing General Assembly resolution 2758.[31] Responding to the application, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon stated that:
Responding to the UN's rejection of its application, the ROC government has stated that Taiwan is not now nor has it ever been under the jurisdiction of the PRC, and that since General Assembly resolution 2758 did not clarify the issue of Taiwan's representation in the UN, it does not prevent Taiwan's participation in the UN as an independent sovereign nation. The ROC government, as well as several international newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal,[32] also criticized Ban for returning the application without passing it to the Security Council or the General Assembly, contrary to UN's standard procedure (Provisional Rules of Procedure of the Security Council, Chapter X, Rule 59),[33] and for asserting that Taiwan is part of China.[34] On the other hand, the PRC government, which has stated that Taiwan is part of China, praised that UN's decision "was made in accordance with the UN Charter and Resolution 2758 of the UN General Assembly, and showed the UN and its member states' universal adherence to the one-China principle."[35] While the PRC government firmly opposes the application of any Taiwan authorities to join the UN or any of its agencies, such as the World Health Organization, the ROC government continues to call on the international community to recognize the right of the island's 23 million citizens to participate in the meetings and activities of the UN and its affiliates. Currently, 23 UN member states and the Holy See maintain diplomatic relations with the ROC.
Observers and non-members
In addition to the member states discussed above, there is one non-member observer state, the Holy See (which holds sovereignty over the state of Vatican City). It has been a permanent observer state since 6 April 1964. Non-member observer states are recognized as sovereign entities, and are free to submit a petition to join as a full member at their discretion. For example, Switzerland was also a permanent observer state from 1948 to 2002, until becoming a full member on 10 September 2002.
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was granted observer status by General Assembly resolution 3237 on 22 November 1974. After the proclaimed declaration of the State of Palestine by the PLO, its designation in the UN was changed to Palestine by General Assembly resolution A/RES/43/177 on 15 December 1988. Palestine's status in the UN is "a non-member entity".
The sovereignty status of Western Sahara is in dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front. Most of the territory is administered by Morocco, the remainder (the Free Zone) by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), proclaimed by the Polisario Front. The SADR is a full member of the African Union, but is neither a member nor observer of the UN.
The associated states of New Zealand, the Cook Islands and Niue, are not UN members. While self-governing in their domestic affairs, most of their foreign affairs are represented by New Zealand on their behalf. The Cook Islands and Niue are members of UN agencies such as WHO and UNESCO, and are signatories of international treaties such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Many international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and entities whose statehood or sovereignty are not precisely defined, such as the European Union, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, are invited to become observers at the General Assembly.
