How many times has Pakistan served as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, including the current term?

Correct Answer: C. Eight

Pakistan began its two-year tenure as a non-permanent member of the United States Security Council (UNSC) on January 01, 2024. Ambassador Munir Akram, Pakistan’s top diplomat at the UN, said Islamabad would play an “active and constructive” role in addressing key challenges facing the world. Pakistan was elected as a non-permanent member of the council with a whopping number in June 2024, getting 182 votes in the 193-member General Assembly. A country requires 124 votes representing a two-thirds majority. This is Pakistan’s eighth term as a non-permanent member of the UNSC.
