Correct option is D
According to the United Nations Charter, each member of the Security Council is allowed to have one representative. This single representative represents the member state in all matters before the Security Council.
Explanation:
Article 23 of the UN Charter:
· The Security Council consists of 15 members, five of which are permanent members (P5) — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, and Russia — and ten are non-permanent members elected for two-year terms.
· Each of these 15 members is entitled to have one representative at the Security Council.
This ensures that all member states have equal representation within the council’s decision-making process, regardless of whether they are a permanent or non-permanent member.
Additional Knowledge:
(a) 4 representatives
This option is incorrect as no Security Council member is entitled to 4 representatives.
(b) 5 representatives
This option is incorrect. Even the permanent members have only 1 representative in the Council.
(c) 2 representatives
This is also incorrect. Each member state, regardless of status, only has
1 representative.
