The United Nations would need to change its charter to give Brazil a permanent seat on the Security Council. Brazil would like that. It does not look likely to happen any time soon. Brazil would also need to start taking more of a role in world wide peace keeping missions. Why should Brazil be on the Security Council if Brazil is not interested in World Peace?
The countries that have a permanent seat at the UNSC are China, Russia, USA, UK and France.
No, the Soviet Union broke up in 1991 and no longer exists. The Russian Federation now holds their seat in the UN assembly, and the permanent seat on the UN Security Council once held by the Soviet Union.
If India were to accept this offer it would have been seen by the USSR and China as a decisive move by India to align itself with the US. As such by accepting the offer India would have sullied its ties with the USSR and China while at the same time not gaining any stronger ties with the US and neither the "offered" security council seat.
Russia boycotted the UN Security Council because the Chinese seat in this council belonged to the nationalist Chinese government in Taiwan, led by Chang Kai Shek, rather than to the communist China led by chairman Mao. The UN Security Council used this Russian boycot to send an army under the UN flag to Korea in 1950.
Clement Attlee- he replaced Churchill in the general election of May 1945 and was PM when the war ended in the Far East. He was also in office during the establishment of the United Nations, securing Britain a permanent seat on the Security Council, and also signed Britain into NATO- he also oversaw Britain's contribution to the Berlin Airlift of 1947. In '51 he was voted out to be replaced by Churchill again, who was re-elected as a peacetime leader.
There are changes in membership but some of the founding members have a permanent seat and this is how it should be.
G4 countries are a group of 4 countries comprising of India, Brazil, Japan and Germany who support each other's bid for UN security council seat. Currently there are only 4 permanent members of UN security council and G4 countries are bidding to expand it.

The permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (also known as the Permanent Five, Big Five, or P5) are the five sovereign states to whom the UN Charter of 1945 grants a permanent seat on the UN Security Council:- China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
All members of the UN are permanent members. Once a country has joined, it does not have to reapply.I think you mean permanent members of the UN Security Council. There are five permanent members of the UN Security Council: China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and the USA.These have always been permanent members of the UN Security Council, the mebership hasn't changed since the UN was founded, except Russia took over the seat from the USSR when the USSR was dissolved in 1992.
No, the Soviet Union broke up in 1991 and no longer exists. The Russian Federation now holds their seat in the UN assembly, and the permanent seat on the UN Security Council once held by the Soviet Union.
The Security Council is currently viewed as presenting the state of international affairs at the end of WWII. The dynamics of power have changed a lot since then. States like the G4 nations of Germany, Japan, India and Brazil are the new economic powerhouses and feel that their influence should earn them a seat on the Security Council. The G4 also supports an accession to the SC of two African nations - probably South Africa, Nigeria or Egypt - to make the SC more representative of the world's population. Currently 4/5 of the nations are caucasian-dominated, three are European, yet most of the world's population is in Africa or India (which are not at all represented).

Because the Soviet Union at the time was boycotting the Security Council meetings, and Communist China had been refused a seat in the Council; so the two parties most likely to veto the resolutions were not in a position to do so.
This is the only conflict in which the United Nations went to war. It was possible because the Soviet Union, which supported the North Koreans, and had Veto Power in the UN Security Council, had been boycotting the UN over the awarding of a Permanent Seat on the Security Council to Taiwan instead of The Peoples Republic of China. An emergency meeting of the Security Council was summoned in the hours immediately after the invasion of South Korea by North Korea. United Nations Security Council Resolution 82, condemning the North Korean aggression was passed unanimously, and the Soviet Union was not there to veto the resolution. The war was called a "Police Action" so that the United States wouldn't have to declare war.
If Germany joined, three of the seven permanent members would be European, giving that region unfair weight. The three European seats could be combined into one (a rotating seat or one representing the European Union), but this would water down the power of Britain and France, which can veto any such change in the Charter. Japan's bid for a seat faces Chinese opposition. Also, if Japan or Germany got a seat, then what about India, with 20 percent of the world's population? And what about an Islamic country such as Indonesia? Finally, what about Latin America and Africa? Possible new permanent member could include Germany, Japan, India, Brazil, Egypt, and either Nigeria or South Africa. None of these plans has made such progress. Any overhaul of the Security Council would require a change in the UN Charter, and a change in membership would reduce the power of the current five permanent members, any of which could veto the change, making any change very difficult.
