From 2 January, Germany, Dominican Republic, South Africa, Belgium and Indonesia officially launched the mandate as non-permanent UN Security Council member states.
Their two-year mandate will be completed on December 31st 2020. Among the 15 Security Council nations, China, France, Russia, Britain and the US are permanent members. The other 10 countries are non-permanent members, and five of them are elected to a two-year term each year.
Non-permanent member states cannot be re-elected to a second consecutive mandate. The division of these 10 countries takes place on the basis of regional quotas. Africa has three countries -- Asia-Peacekeeping, Latin America of the Caribbean and Western Europe -- from two countries and Eastern Europe one country.
