The non-permanent members of the Security Council of the United Nations Organization are appointed for a period of two years. This means that every two years, five new non-permanent members are elected to the Security Council by the General Assembly of the United Nations. The non-permanent members have the same voting rights as the permanent members of the Security Council, but they do not have the power of veto. The purpose of having non-permanent members is to ensure that different regions of the world are represented in the Security Council and to provide for greater representation and diversity in decision-making.
