United Nations

To become a member of the United Nations (UN), a state must follow the procedures outlined in the UN Charter. The UN Charter stipulates that any peace-loving state that accepts the obligations of the charter and is able and willing to carry out these obligations can become a member of the UN. The following steps are generally taken:
# Submit an application: The first step to becoming a member of the UN is to submit an application to the Secretary-General. The application should include a formal statement expressing the country's desire to join the UN.
# Security Council consideration: The Security Council will consider the application and make a recommendation to the General Assembly. A positive recommendation from the Security Council requires the affirmative vote of at least nine of the 15 members, including the concurring votes of all five permanent members - China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
# General Assembly vote: The General Assembly will then vote on the application. A two-thirds majority vote of the members present and voting is required for admission.
# Signature and ratification: Once admitted, the state must sign and ratify the UN Charter, indicating its acceptance of the obligations and responsibilities of UN membership.
It is important to note that the admission process may take some time and can be affected by a variety of factors, including political considerations and regional dynamics.
