The five permanent members remain so to the present, although there have been two seat changes, between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China in 1971, and between the Soviet Union and its successor state, the Russian Federation, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Kelima anggota tetap ini masih ada sampai sekarang, meski terjadi perubahan dua kursi, antara Republik Tiongkok dan Republik Rakyat Tiongkok tahun 1971, dan antara Uni Soviet dan negara penggantinya, Federasi Rusia, setelah pembubaran Uni Soviet.
