The Council is consolidated by 15 member states, 5 of them being permanent (the United States of America, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the French Republic, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) who have the faculty to exhort their veto for rejecting any resolution, and 10 of them non-permanent members, being elected every two years by the General Assembly. Following the United Nations Charter, all members of the United Nations agree to support and carry out the decisions of the Security Council.
