Correct Answer: 11
The Security Council has five permanent members—China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—collectively known as the P5. Any one of them can veto a resolution. The council's ten elected members, which serve two - year, nonconsecutive terms, are not afforded veto power.
