United Nations Member States That I Have Visited

Posted: May 2025
The United Nations is an international organisation founded in 1945:
Membership in the Organisation, by the Charter of the United Nations, “is open to all peace-loving States that accept the obligations contained in the United Nations Charter and, in the judgment of the Organisation, can carry out these obligations”. States are admitted to membership in the United Nations by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
The UN is made up of 193 Member States.

​99.99999 % of travellers falsely refer to these member states as countries. They are chasing 193, 195 or 197 Member States, not Countries:

I am not chasing 193, 195 or 197 because there are some countries I have no interest in visiting: Venezuela, DRC, Haiti.

I also don't agree with their membership policies.
