Standing up for international law
In the run-up to the election to the Security Council Denmark declared that as a member it would be standing up for International Law, including International Humanitarian Law, and pushing for a more Accountable, Effective and Representative Security Council.
Denmark will also work on promoting three key issues:
To adapt the Security Council’s crisis management and prevention to new types of conflicts
Addressing the impact of climate change on peace and security
Strengthening the Women, Peace and Security agenda in the Security Council
There are 10 non-permanent seats in the UN Security Council in addition to the five permanent seats held by China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Denmark, Greece, Panama, Pakistan, and Somalia were elected by the UN General Assembly, to replace Malta, Switzerland, Ecuador, Japan, and Mozambique in their respective regional groups.
