What is UNSC?
At the founding of the UN in 1945, the five permanent members of the Security Council were the Republic of China, the Interim Government of the Republic of France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Chinese seat was originally held by the National Government of Chiang Kai-shek, the Republic of China. However, the Nationalists were forced to retreat to the island of Taiwan in 1949, during the Chinese Civil War. The Chinese Communist Party came to power in China, from where it came to be known as the People's Republic of China. In 1971, General Assembly Resolution 2758 recognized the People's Republic as a legitimate representative of China to the UN and granted the seat of the Security Council hosted by the Republic of China, which completely expelled UN membership as a separate nation. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian Federation was recognized as a legal entity following the Soviet Union and maintained its position in the Security Council. In addition, France finally transformed its government into the French Fifth Republic in 1958, under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle. France retained its seat as there was no change in its status or foreign recognition, although much of its overseas assets eventually became independent.
