The United Nations (UN) is an international organization founded in 1945, shortly after World War II, with the aim of promoting peace, security, and cooperation among nations. It currently consists of 193 member states, each having different roles and responsibilities within the organization. In this blog post, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the nations that belong to the United Nations.

Member States of the United Nations

As of October 2021, the United Nations has a total of 193 member states. These member states are recognized sovereign nations that have officially joined and pledged to uphold the principles of the United Nations Charter. They come from various regions and encompass a vast diversity of cultures, languages, and geopolitical influences.

  • Afghanistan
  • Albania
  • Algeria
  • Andorra
  • …
  • Zimbabwe

The list above shows just a small selection of the UN member states starting with the letter ‘A’ and ending with ‘Z’. Each member state has an equal vote in the UN General Assembly, the main deliberative and policy-making body of the organization.

Observers and Non-Member States

In addition to the 193 member states, the United Nations also grants observer status to certain entities that are not fully recognized as sovereign states. These entities may include territories, dependencies, and entities with limited international recognition. Observer status allows them to participate in UN activities, discussions, and international conferences.

Moreover, there are non-member states that have not yet gained United Nations membership for various reasons, such as lack of international recognition or political obstacles. These states may still participate in some UN activities, but they do not possess voting rights in the General Assembly.

The United Nations is a truly inclusive organization with a wide array of member states representing the diversity of our global community. Its mission of maintaining international peace and security, promoting sustainable development, and safeguarding human rights relies on the collective effort and collaboration of all member states. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, the nations belonging to the United Nations form a crucial network dedicated to addressing global challenges and fostering a more peaceful and prosperous world.
