The UN Security Council is one of the most important main and working agencies at the United Nations, established in 1945, where it is based in New York City, USA.
Among the most prominent international peace and security, and this is its main responsibility, as it consists of 15 members, 5 permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States) and have veto (veto), and 10 non -permanent members elected by the United Nations General Assembly for two years. His decisions are also binding on all member states of the United Nations.
Among the most important tasks that he should prevent conflicts, peacekeeping, imposing penalties, and permit to use force in some specific cases. As for his presidency, the member states are alternated by each country for one month, and so on, and it is an important international body that plays a crucial role in preserving global peace and security, and has the authority to make binding decisions for member states of the United Nations.
From this standpoint, the Kingdom of Bahrain seeks to run for the membership of the UN Security Council for the next session, and this means that it is a step forward and unprecedented, and with a long-term idea to obtain this unspeakable seat in the council for the next period of its mandate, which was two years old, where Bahrain officially announced its candidacy for membership for the period between 2026-2027.
Where the elections will be held in the middle of the year 2025 during the United Nations General Assembly session, and if it wins, its membership will begin on January 1, 2026.
It is the importance of this candidacy and winning this seat, as many mean that it will increase and reinforce its position and prominent role on the international scene, and gives it a voice that affects global issues.
Likewise, this decision provides Bahrain’s opportunity for international decision makers to be able to participate directly and in discussions and council decisions on issues related to international conflicts, peacekeeping, as well as human rights -related decisions. This in itself represents an important step to enhance the regional and international role, and contribute to global peace and security efforts.
It will also achieve this membership that benefits the country morally, including enhancing sustainable development because of its international status, and active diplomatic work will be subject to the membership of Bahrain in the council the opportunity to expand in international diplomatic relations with other member states in the council, which will enhance international cooperation in various fields. We ask God Almighty to grant success to His Majesty the Great King, and to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister for the good of the country and the people.
