Detailed explanation-1: -Based on the consensus on the Security Council’s structure agreed upon at the 1944 Dumbarton Oaks Conference and subsequently at UN’s founding in 1945, the five permanent members of the Security Council were the French Republic, the Republic of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -The permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (also known as the Permanent Five, Big Five, or P5) are the five states which the UN Charter of 1945 grants a permanent seat on the UN Security Council (UNSC): China, France, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Security Council originally consisted of 11 members-five permanent members (the Republic of China [Taiwan], France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and six nonpermanent members elected by the UN General Assembly for two-year terms.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Security Council consists of fifteen members, of which five are permanent: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Detailed explanation-5: -The difference between the permanent members lies in the fact that they are permanent and they get veto powers in decision making. The ten non-permanent members are temporary in nature and are replaced every two years to give way to new members. Hence, they do not hold veto power.
