Question

The non-permanent members of the UN Security Council are elected for a term of:

• A. One year
• B. Two years
• C. Three years
• D. Four years

Hint:

UNSC Structure: \[ 5 \text{ permanent} + 10 \text{ non-permanent} \] Non-permanent members rotate every: \[ \boxed{2 \text{ years}} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the UNSC structure.
The UN Security Council has 5 permanent members and 10 non-permanent members.

Step 2: Note the term.
Non-permanent members are elected for a fixed term of two years by the General Assembly.

Step 3: Understand the rotation.
Every year 5 of them are replaced and 5 continue, which keeps the Council working smoothly.

Step 4: Rule out the others.
One year is too short, and three or four years are not provided in the Charter.

Answer: Two years (Option 2).
