Answer: B. When General Assembly admits it after recommendation Security Council

Explanation

The General Assembly admits new states to the United Nations following a formal recommendation. This admission process requires prior approval from the UN Security Council. Constitutional rules of the United Nations mandate dual approval for prospective member states. Charter provisions govern the admission, suspension, and expulsion of sovereign states. The Security Council evaluates prospective members based on peace-loving criteria and charter obligations. General Assembly voting formalizes the collective international recognition of new member states.

Newly independent nations seek UN membership to secure international diplomatic legitimacy and rights. Geopolitical vetoes in the Security Council frequently delay state admissions to the United Nations. Multilateral diplomacy relies on universal organizational participation through standardized admission protocols. Security Council admission alone is insufficient without subsequent General Assembly formal voting. Admission requires Security Council recommendation before the General Assembly can take a vote. The Secretary-General provides administrative support but does not possess formal admission recommendation power.
