यूनाइटेड नेशंस के सदस्य देस

**यूनाइटेड नेशंस के सदस्य देस** 193 गो संप्रभु राज्य बाड़ऽसन that are members of the United Nations (UN) and have equal representation in the UN General Assembly. The UN is the world's largest intergovernmental organization.

The criteria for admission of new members to the UN are set out in Chapter II, Article 4 of the UN Charter:

# Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgement of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.
# The admission of any such state to membership in the United Nations will be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.

A recommendation for admission from the Security Council requires affirmative votes from at least nine of the council's fifteen members, with none of the five permanent members using their veto power. The Security Council's recommendation must then be approved in the General Assembly by a two-thirds majority vote.

In principle, only sovereign states can become UN members, and currently all UN members are sovereign states. Although five members were not sovereign when they joined the UN, all subsequently became fully independent between 1946 and 1991. Because a state can only be admitted to membership in the UN by the approval of the Security Council and the General Assembly, a number of states that are considered sovereign according to the Montevideo Convention are not members of the UN. This is because the UN does not consider them to possess sovereignty, mainly due to the lack of international recognition or due to opposition from one of the permanent members.

In addition to the member states, the UN also invites non-member states to become observers at the UN General Assembly (currently two: the Holy See and Palestine), allowing them to participate and speak in General Assembly meetings, but not vote. Observers are generally intergovernmental organizations and international organizations and entities whose statehood or sovereignty is not precisely defined.

The UN officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, after ratification of the United Nations Charter by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (the Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and a majority of the other signatories. A total of 51 original members (or founding members) joined that year; 50 of them signed the Charter at the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco on 26 June 1945, while Poland, which was not represented at the conference, signed it on 15 October 1945.

The original members of the United Nations were: France, the Republic of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Byelorussia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Syria, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia.

Among the original members, 49 are either still UN members or had their memberships in the UN continued by a successor state *(see table below)*; for example, the membership of the Soviet Union was continued by the Russian Federation after its dissolution *(see the section [[#Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Former members: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]])*. The other two original members, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia (i.e., the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), had been dissolved and their memberships in the UN not continued from 1992 by any one successor state *(see the sections [[#Czechoslovakia|Former members: Czechoslovakia]] and [[#Yugoslavia|Former members: Yugoslavia]])*.

At the time of UN's founding, the seat of China in the UN was held by the Republic of China, but as a result of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 in 1971, it is now held by the People's Republic of China *(see the section [[#Republic of China (Taiwan)|Former members: Republic of China (Taiwan)]])*.

A number of the original members were not sovereign when they joined the UN, and only gained full independence later:
* Belarus (then the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic) and Ukraine (then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic) were both constituent republics of the Soviet Union, until gaining full independence in 1991.
* भारत (whose territory at that time, before the Partition of India, also included the present-day territories of Pakistan and Bangladesh) was under British colonial rule, until gaining full independence in 1947.
* The Philippines (then the Philippine Commonwealth) was a commonwealth with the United States, until gaining full independence in 1946.
* New Zealand, while *de facto* sovereign at that time, "only gained full capacity to enter into relations with other states in 1947 when it passed the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act. This occurred 16 years after the British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster Act in 1931 that recognised New Zealand's autonomy. If judged by the Montevideo Convention criteria, New Zealand did not achieve full *de jure* statehood until 1947."

The alphabetical order by the member states' official designations is used to determine the seating arrangement of the General Assembly sessions, where a draw is held each year to select a member state as the starting point. Several members use their full official names in their official designations and thus are sorted out of order from their common names: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Moldova and the United Republic of Tanzania.

*The member states can be sorted by their official designations and dates of admission by clicking on the buttons in the header of the columns. See related sections on former members by clicking on the links in the column *'See also**.''

The [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] (ROC) joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, and as set out by the [[United Nations Charter]], [[Chapter V of the United Nations Charter|Chapter V]], Article 23, became one of the five permanent members of the [[United Nations Security Council]]. In 1949, as a result of the [[Chinese Civil War]], the [[Kuomintang]]-led ROC government lost effective control of [[mainland China]] and relocated to the [[island of Taiwan]], and the [[Communist Party of China|Communist Party]]-led government of the [[China|People's Republic of China]] (PRC), declared on 1 October 1949, took control of mainland China. The UN was notified on 18 November 1949 of the formation of the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China|Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China]]; however, the [[Government of the Republic of China]] continued to represent China at the UN, despite the small size of the ROC's jurisdiction of [[List of islands of the Republic of China|Taiwan and a number of smaller islands]] compared to the PRC's jurisdiction of mainland China. As both governments claimed to be the sole legitimate representative of China, proposals to effect a change in the representation of China in the UN were discussed but rejected for the next two decades, as the ROC was still recognized as the sole legitimate representative of China by a majority of UN members. Both sides rejected compromise proposals to allow both states to participate in the UN, based on the [[One-China policy]].

By the 1970s, a shift had occurred in international diplomatic circles and the PRC had gained the upper hand in international diplomatic relations and recognition count. On 25 October 1971, the 21st time the [[United Nations General Assembly]] debated on the PRC's admission into the UN, [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758]] was adopted, by which it recognized that "the representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China are the only lawful representatives of China to the United Nations and that the People's Republic of China is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council," and decided "to restore all its rights to the People's Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations, and to expel forthwith the representatives of [[Chiang Kai-shek]] from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it." This effectively transferred the seat of China in the UN, including its permanent seat on the Security Council, from the ROC to the PRC, and expelled the ROC from the UN. From the United Nations' perspective the "Republic of China" is not a former member. No UN member was expelled in 1971. Rather, the credentials of one Chinese delegation (from Taipei) were rejected and the credentials of another Chinese delegation (from Beijing) were accepted.

In addition to losing its seat in the UN, the UN Secretary-General concluded from the resolution that the General Assembly considered Taiwan to be a province of China. Consequently, the Secretary-General decided that it was not permitted for the ROC to become a party to treaties deposited with it.

====Bids for readmission as the representative of Taiwan====


In 1993 the ROC began campaigning to rejoin the UN separately from the People's Republic of China. A number of options were considered, including seeking membership in the [[specialized agencies]], applying for [[United Nations General Assembly observers|observer status]], applying for full membership, or having resolution 2758 revoked to reclaim the seat of China in the UN.

Every year from 1993–2006, UN member states submitted a memorandum to the UN Secretary-General requesting that the UN General Assembly consider allowing the ROC to resume participating in the United Nations. This approach was chosen, rather than a formal application for membership, because it could be enacted by the General Assembly, while a membership application would need Security Council approval, where the PRC held a veto. Early proposals recommended admitting the ROC with parallel representation over China, along with the People's Republic of China, pending eventual reunification, citing examples of other divided countries which had become separate UN member states, such as [[East Germany|East]] and [[West Germany]] and [[North Korea|North]] and [[South Korea]]. Later proposals emphasized that the ROC was a separate state, over which the PRC had no effective sovereignty. These proposed resolutions referred to the ROC under a variety of names: "Republic of China in Taiwan" (1993–94), "Republic of China on Taiwan" (1995–97, 1999–2002), "Republic of China" (1998), "Republic of China (Taiwan)" (2003) and "Taiwan" (2004–06).

However, all fourteen attempts were unsuccessful as the General Assembly's General Committee declined to put the issue on the Assembly's agenda for debate, under strong opposition from the PRC.

While all these proposals were vague, requesting the ROC be allowed to participate in UN activities without specifying any legal mechanism, in 2007 the ROC submitted a formal application under the name "Taiwan" for full membership in the UN. However, the application was rejected by the [[United Nations Office of Legal Affairs]] citing General Assembly Resolution 2758, without being forwarded to the Security Council. [[Secretary-General of the United Nations]] [[Ban Ki-moon]] stated that:


Responding to the UN's rejection of its application, the ROC government has stated that Taiwan is not now nor has it ever been under the jurisdiction of the PRC, and that since General Assembly Resolution 2758 did not clarify the issue of Taiwan's representation in the UN, it does not prevent Taiwan's participation in the UN as an independent sovereign nation. The ROC government also criticized Ban for asserting that Taiwan is part of China and returning the application without passing it to the Security Council or the General Assembly, contrary to UN's standard procedure (Provisional Rules of Procedure of the Security Council, Chapter X, Rule 59). On the other hand, the PRC government, which has stated that Taiwan is part of China and firmly opposes the application of any Taiwan authorities to join the UN either as a member or an observer, praised that UN's decision "was made in accordance with the UN Charter and Resolution 2758 of the UN General Assembly, and showed the UN and its member states' universal adherence to the [[One-China policy|one-China principle]]". A group of UN member states put forward a draft resolution for that fall's UN General Assembly calling on the Security Council to consider the application.

The following year [[Taiwanese United Nations membership referendums, 2008|two referendums]] in Taiwan on the government's attempts to regain participation at the UN did not pass due to low turnout. That fall the ROC took a new approach, with its allies submitting a resolution requesting that the "Republic of China (Taiwan)" be allowed to have "meaningful participation" in the UN [[specialized agencies]]. Again the issue was not put on the Assembly's agenda. In 2009, the ROC chose not to bring the issue of its participation in the UN up for debate at the General Assembly for the first time since it began the campaign in 1993.

In May 2009, the [[Department of Health (Republic of China)|Department of Health of the Republic of China]] was invited by the [[World Health Organization]] to attend the 62nd [[World Health Assembly]] as an observer under the name "[[Chinese Taipei]]". This was the ROC's first participation in an event organized by a [[List of specialized agencies of the United Nations|UN-affiliated agency]] since 1971, as a result of the improved [[cross-strait relations]] since [[Ma Ying-jeou]] became the [[President of the Republic of China]] a year before.

The Republic of China is officially  and the [[Holy See]]. It maintains unofficial diplomatic relations with around 100 nations, including the [[United States]] and [[Japan]].

===चेकोस्लोवाकिया===
[[Czechoslovakia]] joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, with its name changed to the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic on 20 April 1990. Upon the imminent [[dissolution of Czechoslovakia]], in a letter dated 10 December 1992, its Permanent Representative informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic would cease to exist on 31 December 1992 and that the [[Czech Republic]] and [[Slovakia]], as successor states, would apply for membership in the UN. Neither state sought sole successor state status. Both states were admitted to the UN on 19 January 1993.

===जर्मन डेमोक्रेटिक रिपब्लिक===
Both the [[West Germany|Federal Republic of Germany]] (West Germany) and the [[East Germany|German Democratic Republic]] (East Germany) were admitted to the UN on 18 September 1973. Through the [[German reunification|accession of the East German federal states to the Federal Republic of Germany]], effective from 3 October 1990, the territory of the German Democratic Republic became part of the Federal Republic of Germany, today simply known as ''Germany''. Consequently, the Federal Republic of Germany continued being a member of the UN while the German Democratic Republic ceased to exist.

===मलाया फेडरेशन===
The [[Federation of Malaya]] joined the United Nations on 17 September 1957. On 16 September 1963, its name was changed to **Malaysia*', following the formation of Malaysia from [[Singapore]], [[Crown Colony of North Borneo|North Borneo]] (now [[Sabah]]), [[Crown Colony of Sarawak|Sarawak]] and the [[Federation of Malaya]]. Singapore became an independent State on 9 August 1965 and a Member of the United Nations on 21 September 1965.

===टैंगानिका आ जंजीबार===
[[Tanganyika]] was admitted to the UN on 14 December 1961, and [[People's Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba|Zanzibar]] was admitted to the UN on 16 December 1963. Following the ratification on 26 April 1964 of the Articles of Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the two states merged to form the single member "United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar", with its name changed to the [[Tanzania|United Republic of Tanzania]] on 1 November 1964.

===यूएसएसआर===

The [[Soviet Union|Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]] (USSR) joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, and as set out by the [[United Nations Charter]], [[Chapter V of the United Nations Charter|Chapter V]], Article 23, became one of the five permanent members of the [[United Nations Security Council]]. Upon the imminent [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|dissolution of the USSR]], in a letter dated 24 December 1991, [[Boris Yeltsin]], the [[President of Russia|President of the Russian Federation]], informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that the membership of the USSR in the Security Council and all other UN organs was being continued by the [[Russia|Russian Federation]] with the support of the 11 member countries of the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]].

The other fourteen independent states established from the former Soviet Republics were all admitted to the UN:
* The [[Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic]] and the [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]] joined the UN on 24 October 1945 together with the USSR. After declaring independence, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic changed its name to [[Ukraine]] on 24 August 1991, and on 19 September 1991, the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic informed the UN that it had changed its name to [[Belarus]].
* [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]], and [[Lithuania]] were admitted to the UN on 17 September 1991, after [[State continuity of the Baltic states|regaining independence]] before the dissolution of the USSR.
* [[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], the [[Moldova|Republic of Moldova]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], and [[Uzbekistan]] were admitted to the UN on 2 March 1992.
* [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] was admitted to the UN on 31 July 1992.

Both [[Egypt]] and [[Syria]] joined the UN as original members on 24 October 1945. Following a plebiscite on 21 February 1958, the [[United Arab Republic]] was established by a union of Egypt and Syria and continued as a single member. On 13 October 1961, Syria, having resumed its status as an independent state, resumed its separate membership in the UN. Egypt continued as a UN member under the name of the United Arab Republic, until it reverted to its original name on 2 September 1971. Syria changed its name to the Syrian Arab Republic on 14 September 1971.

===Yemen and Democratic Yemen===
[[North Yemen|Yemen]] (i.e., North Yemen) was admitted to the UN on 30 September 1947; [[South Yemen|Southern Yemen]] (i.e., South Yemen) was admitted to the UN on 14 December 1967, with its name changed to the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen on 30 November 1970, and was later referred to as Democratic Yemen. On 22 May 1990, [[Yemeni unification|the two states merged]] to form the Republic of Yemen, which continued as a single member under the name [[Yemen]].

===यूगोस्लाविया===




The [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]], referred to as Yugoslavia, joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945. By 1992, it had been effectively [[Breakup of Yugoslavia|dissolved]] into five independent states, which were all subsequently admitted to the UN:
* [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Croatia]], and [[Slovenia]] were admitted to the UN on 22 May 1992.
* [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]] was admitted to the UN on 8 April 1993, being provisionally referred to for all purposes within the UN as "The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" pending settlement of the [[Macedonia naming dispute|difference that had arisen over its name]].
* The [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] (name later changed to [[Serbia and Montenegro]]) was admitted to the UN on 1 November 2000.

Due to the dispute over its legal [[succession of states|successor states]], the member state "Yugoslavia", referring to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, remained on the official roster of UN members for many years after its effective dissolution. Following the admission of all five states as new UN members, "Yugoslavia" was removed from the official roster of UN members.

The government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, established on 28 April 1992 by the remaining Yugoslav republics of [[Republic of Montenegro (1992–2006)|Montenegro]] and [[Republic of Serbia (1990–2006)|Serbia]], claimed itself as the legal [[succession of states|successor state]] of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; however, on 30 May 1992, [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 757]] was adopted, by which it imposed [[international sanctions]] on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia due to its role in the [[Yugoslav Wars]], and noted that "the claim by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations has not been generally accepted," and on 22 September 1992, United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/47/1 was adopted, by which it considered that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) cannot continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations," and therefore decided that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the [[United Nations General Assembly|General Assembly]]". The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia refused to comply with the resolution for many years, but following the ousting of [[President of Serbia and Montenegro|President]] [[Slobodan Milošević]] from office, it applied for membership, and was admitted to the UN on 1 November 2000. On 4 February 2003, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had its official name changed to Serbia and Montenegro, following the adoption and promulgation of the [[Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro]] by the Assembly of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

On the basis of a [[Montenegrin independence referendum, 2006|referendum]] held on 21 May 2006, [[Montenegro]] declared independence from [[Serbia and Montenegro]] on 3 जून 2006. In a letter dated on the same day, the [[President of Serbia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that the membership of Serbia and Montenegro in the UN was being continued by [[Serbia]], following Montenegro's declaration of independence, in accordance with the Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro. Montenegro was admitted to the UN on 28 जून 2006.

In the aftermath of the [[Kosovo War]], the territory of [[Kosovo]], then an [[Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija|autonomous province]] of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, was put under the interim administration of the [[United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo|United Nations Mission in Kosovo]] on 10 June 1999. On 17 February 2008 it declared independence, but this has not been recognised by Serbia. The [[Kosovo|Republic of Kosovo]] is not a member of the UN, but is a member of the [[International Monetary Fund]] and the [[World Bank Group]], both [[List of specialized agencies of the United Nations|specialized agencies]] in the [[United Nations System]]. The Republic of Kosovo is , including three of the five permanent members of the [[United Nations Security Council]] (France, the United Kingdom, and the United States), while the other two—China and Russia—do not recognise Kosovo. On 22 July 2010, the [[International Court of Justice]], the primary judicial organ of the UN, issued an [[International Court of Justice advisory opinion on Kosovo's declaration of independence|advisory opinion]], ruling that Kosovo's declaration of independence was not in violation of international law.

==Suspension, expulsion, and withdrawal of members==


A member state may be suspended or expelled from the UN, according to the [[United Nations Charter]]. From [[Chapter II of the United Nations Charter|Chapter II]], Article 5:


From Article 6:


Since its inception, no member state has been suspended or expelled from the UN under Articles 5 and 6. However, in a few cases, states were suspended or expelled from participating in UN activities by means other than Articles 5 and 6:
*On 25 October 1971, [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758]] was adopted, which recognized the [[China|People's Republic of China]] instead of the [[Taiwan|Republic of China]] (since 1949 controlling only Taiwan) as the legitimate representative of China in the UN and effectively expelled the Republic of China from the UN in 1971 *(see the section Former members: Republic of China)*. This act did not constitute as the expulsion of a member state under Article 6, as this would have required Security Council approval and been subjected to [[United Nations Security Council veto power|vetoes]] by its permanent members, which included the Republic of China itself and the United States, which at that time still recognized the Republic of China.
*In October 1974, the Security Council considered a draft resolution that would have recommended that the General Assembly immediately expel South Africa from the UN, in compliance with Article 6 of the United Nations Charter, due to [[Apartheid in South Africa|its apartheid policies]]. However, the resolution was not adopted because of vetoes by three permanent members of the Security Council: France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In response, the General Assembly decided to suspend South Africa from participation in the work of the Assembly's 29th session on 12 November 1974; however, South Africa was not formally suspended under Article 5. The suspension lasted until the General Assembly welcomed South Africa back to full participation in the UN on 23 June 1994, following its successful democratic [[South African general election, 1994|elections earlier that year]].
*On 28 April 1992, the new [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] was established, by the remaining republics of Serbia and Montenegro of the former [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]]. On 22 September 1992, United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/47/1 was adopted, by which it considered that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) cannot continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations," and therefore decided that "the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the General Assembly". It did not apply for membership until [[Slobodan Milošević]] was ousted from the presidency and was admitted on 1 November 2000 *(see the section Former members: Yugoslavia)*.

===Withdrawal of Indonesia (1965–1966)===



Since the inception of the UN, only one member state (excluding those that dissolved or merged with other member states) has unilaterally withdrawn from the UN. During the [[Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation]], and in response to the election of [[Malaysia]] as a [[List of members of the United Nations Security Council|non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council]], in a letter dated 20 January 1965, [[Indonesia]] informed the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] that it had decided "at this stage and under the present circumstances" to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of [[President of Indonesia|President]] [[Sukarno]], in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary-General of its decision "to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty-first session of the General Assembly". On 28 September 1966, the United Nations General Assembly took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and the [[President of the United Nations General Assembly|President]] invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly.

Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN (largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN's predecessor, the [[League of Nations]]), or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval. Indonesia's return to the UN would suggest that this is not required; however, scholars have argued that the course of action taken by the General Assembly was not in accordance with the Charter from a legal point of view.

==Observers and non-members==



In addition to the member states, there are two [[United Nations General Assembly observers#Non-member states|non-member permanent observer states]]: the [[Holy See]] and the [[State of Palestine]].
*The [[Holy See]] holds sovereignty over the state of [[Vatican City]] and maintains diplomatic relations with 180 other states. It has been an observer state since 6 April 1964, and gained all the rights of full membership except voting on 1 July 2004.
*The [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] was granted observer status as a "non-member entity" on 22 November 1974. Acknowledging the proclamation of the [[State of Palestine]] by the [[Palestinian National Council|Palestine National Council]] on 15 November 1988, the United Nations General Assembly decided that, effective as of 15 December 1988, the designation "Palestine" should be used in place of the designation "Palestine Liberation Organization" in the [[United Nations System]]. On 23 September 2011, [[Palestinian National Authority]] [[President of the Palestinian National Authority|President]] [[Mahmoud Abbas]] submitted the [[Palestine 194|application for UN membership]] for the State of Palestine to [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|United Nations Secretary-General]] [[Ban Ki-moon]]; the application has not been voted on by the UN Security Council. On 31 अक्टूबर 2011, the General Assembly of [[UNESCO]] voted to admit Palestine as a member, becoming the first UN agency to admit Palestine as a full member. The State of Palestine was recognized as a "non-member state" on 29 November 2012, when the [[United Nations General Assembly|UN General Assembly]] passed [[United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19]] by a vote of 138 to 9, with 41 abstentions. The change in status was described by *The Independent'' as "de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine". On 17 December 2012, UN Chief of Protocol Yeocheol Yoon decided that "the designation of 'State of Palestine' shall be used by the Secretariat in all official United Nations documents".

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta, while not a state, has observer status at the UN and maintains diplomatic relations with 107 countries.

A number of states were also granted observer status before being admitted to the UN as full members. The most recent case of an observer state becoming a member state was Switzerland, which was admitted in 2002.

A European Union institution, the European Commission, was granted observer status at the UNGA through Resolution 3208 in 1974. The Treaty of Lisbon in 2009 resulted in the delegates being accredited directly to the EU. It was accorded full rights in the General Assembly, bar the right to vote and put forward candidates, via UNGA Resolution A/RES/65/276 on 10 May 2011. It is the only non-state party to over 50 multilateral conventions, and has participated as a full member in every way except for having a vote in a number of UN conferences.

The sovereignty status of Western Sahara is in dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front. Most of the territory is controlled by Morocco, the remainder (the Free Zone) by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, proclaimed by the Polisario Front. Western Sahara is listed by the UN as a "non-self-governing territory".

The Cook Islands and Niue, which are both associated states of New Zealand, are not members of the UN, but are members of specialized agencies of the UN such as WHO and UNESCO, and have had their "full treaty-making capacity" recognized by United Nations Secretariat in 1992 and 1994 respectively. They have since become parties to a number of international treaties which the UN Secretariat acts as a depositary for, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and are treated as non-member states. Both the Cook Islands and Niue have expressed a desire to become a UN member state, but New Zealand has said that they would not support the application without a change in their constitutional relationship, in particular their right to New Zealand citizenship.
