Kosovo is not a member of the United Nations primarily because its independence, declared in 2008, is not universally recognized. While over 100 countries, including the United States and most EU nations, recognize Kosovo as an independent state, several others, including Serbia and Russia, do not. This lack of consensus prevents Kosovo from obtaining the necessary support to gain UN membership. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and issues surrounding national sovereignty further complicate its path to recognition.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on on February 17, 2008 but has not gained complete international recognition to allow it to become a member of the United Nations.

Number of countries --> 195 But according to UN 192 countries as Vatican City & Kosovo are not their members. Taiwan is independent country but stills China claims it and UN does not consider as its member. so toll comes to 192 according to UN.
Currently there are 193 member nations in the UN. See the link below for a list. In addition to the 193 member nations or states is Vatican City, a non-voting permanent observer state. At this time Palestine is considered a non-member entity.
Kosovo. Kosovo is its own country ! The capital of Kosovo is Phrishtina. Kosovo is not its own country. It has yet to have enough recognition. Only 75/195 members of the UN recognize Kosovo's sovereignty, and you need at least half, which would be 97 or 98.

Yes, each member of the UN is a member of the General Assembly.
As of October 2023, there are a few countries that are not members of the United Nations. These include Taiwan, which is not recognized as a sovereign state by the UN due to the One-China policy, and Kosovo, which has declared independence but is not universally recognized. Additionally, Vatican City (Holy See) is a non-member observer state. Other territories and regions may also exist outside UN membership, but these are the most notable examples.
