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 United Nations 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. 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).

Seat of China

Main article: China and the United Nations

China, represented by the government of the 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 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 size of the ROC's jurisdiction of Taiwan (and other islands not considered part of Taiwan Province) compared to the PRC's jurisdiction of the Chinese mainland. On 25 October 1971, Resolution 2758 was passed by the United Nations General Assembly, withdrawing recognition of the ROC as the legitimate government of China, and recognising the PRC as the sole legitimate government of China. This effectively expelled the ROC from all UN organs and replaced the seat of China in the United Nations (including the seat on the Security Council) with the PRC government. Chinas seat in the United Nations has been occupied by the Peoples Republic of China since November 23, 1971. ...
