Question

How many countrys are involved in the u.n.?

Answer 1

Currently there are 192 member states

(the list is here, although with the date that each country joined) http://www.un.org/members/list.shtml.

Taiwan (because it isn't recognised as an independent state by the People's Republic of China) is now essentially the only territory that isn't, de facto, represented in the UN.

(Switzerland was the last country to stay outside the organization, and it joined in 2002: those other countries that

have joined since then have done so as a result of splitting from other countries)

The Vatican (Holy See) isn't a member, but has the status of a permanent observer at the UN, while Palestine (not being recognised internationally as a state) has something similar.

Answer 2

192
