The UN Security Council has fifteen members: five permanent and ten elected for two-year terms
Background
The Council is composed of 15 Members. Five of them are permanent members: China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The other ten are non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the General Assembly. The permanent members keep their seats without facing election. The Council's own membership page lists the permanent members alongside the elected members and the year in which each elected term ends.
