Security Council members

 


 

 


To all
The new temporary members of the UN Security Council begin their 2 year term on 1 January 2000, their membership expiring 31 December 2001.
They are
Bangladesh
Jamaica
Mali
Tunisia
Ukraine
The other 5 temporary members finish their 2 year term 31 December 2000
They are
Canada
Malaysia
Namibia
Netherlands
Argentina
The P5 (permanent members) are China, France, Russia, UK and US.
It is likely that the US and UK will "get to work " on the new members straight away, if they have not already.
Do other list members feel there is any benefit in approaching the temporary members, particularly the new ones, through letters or embassy visits?
Certainly, if nothing else, it may be significant to note their positions on sanctions when they enter the Council and 6 months later.
Peace
Richard Byrne
