What countries are not in the UN? <\/h2>\n

There are a number of states that are not recognized by the United Nations, including Kosovo, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, New Russia, the Union of People’s Republics, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Taiwan, and the Republic of China.

The United Nations is an international organization that was founded in 1945. It is made up of 193 member countries. The UN’s main aim is to maintain international peace and security. Three countries in the world could not become a member of the UN – Taiwan, Kosovo, and Vatican City. The UN does not consider Taiwan and Kosovo as sovereign; rather, as part of China and Serbia, respectively. Vatican City is the smallest sovereign state in the world and it is not a member of the UN because of its status as a theocracy.<\/p>\n

Why is North Korea still in the UN <\/h3>\n
