The current five permanent members of the Security Council are the only nations recognized as possessing nuclear weapons under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, although it lacks universal validity, as some nuclear nations have not signed the treaty. This nuclear status is not the result of their Security Council membership, though it is sometimes used as a modern-day justification for their continued presence on the body. India, Pakistan, North Korea, and possibly Israel (though Israel has never itself admitted to nuclear weapons possession) possess nuclear weapons outside of the anti-proliferation framework established by the Treaty. In 2004, four of the five permanent members were also the world's top four weapons exporters when measured by arms value; China was seventh.
Each permanent member state has veto powers, which can be used to void any resolution. A single veto from a permanent member outweighs any majority. This is not technically a veto, rather just a "nay" vote; however any "nay" vote from a permanent member would block the passage of the resolution in question.

The United Nations was created by the wartime allies during World War II. It was the United Nations which landed on the beaches of Normandy. As the victors of that war, it is they who sit on the security council as permanent members. Other countries get their chance, as non permanent members.

Your question answers itself...they are permanent!

In reality it's down to the fact that those countries rrepresent the strongest and richest armed nations in the world and are therefore considered to be the most influencial.
