Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>President Filipe Nyusi will today watch the election of the five new non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) by the body\u2019s General Assembly, which starts in its New York headquarters at 4:00 p.m. Mozambique time.<\/p>\n

He will be following the vote from the Office of the Presidency of the Republic, in Maputo.<\/p>\n

After the election, the Head of State will address the nation within the scope of Mozambique\u2019s candidacy for a non-permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).<\/p>\n

Mozambique\u2019s candidacy is endorsed by the African Union, as a continental organisation aggregating the will of African regional blocs including the SADC, of which Mozambique is a founding member.<\/p>\n

If Mozambique is elected as a non-permanent member of the UNSC today, it will take up its seat on 1 January 2023 and will serve until 31 December 2024. under the motto \u201cInternational Peace and Security and Sustainable Development\u201d<\/p>\n

In accordance with rule 92 of the rules of procedure, the election is held by secret ballot and there are no nominations. Under rule 83 of the rules of procedure, the non-permanent members of the Security Council are elected by a two-thirds majority.<\/p>\n

Five UN member states\u2014 Ecuador, Japan, Malta, Mozambique and Switzerland\u2014are currently running unopposed for the five available seats.<\/p>\n

Every candidate must obtain the votes of two-thirds of the member states present and voting at the General Assembly session. This means that a minimum of 129 positive votes are required to win a seat if all 193 UN member states are present and voting.<\/p>\n

The five seats available for election in 2022, according to the regular distribution among regions, will be as follows:<\/p>\n

Three out of the five candidates have served on the Council previously: Japan has served eleven times, Ecuador three times, and Malta once. Mozambique and Switzerland have never served on the Council.<\/p>\n

These states will formally join the other five non-permanent states elected last year and the five permanent members. The new countries will begin their tenure on the council in January 2023 and will serve two-year terms.<\/p>\n

While the five non-permanent states do not have the same veto powers as the permanent members, their votes are required to pass binding resolutions and can influence the council schedule via a monthly rotating presidency role.<\/p>\n

The Security Council has 15 members:<\/p>\n
