The 2021 United Nations Security Council election was held on 11 June 2021 during the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, held at United Nations Headquarters in New York City.[1] The elections are for five non-permanent seats on the UN Security Council for two-year mandates commencing on 1 January 2022.
In accordance with the Security Council's rotation rules, whereby the ten non-permanent UNSC seats rotate among the various regional blocs into which UN member states traditionally divide themselves for voting and representation purposes, the five available seats are allocated as follows:
Two for Africa
One for the Asia-Pacific Group.[2] By tradition, this seat is expected to be filled by an Arab state in the Asian group (the prior Arab member, Tunisia, being African).[3]
One for Latin America and the Caribbean
One for the Eastern European Group
The five members will serve on the Security Council for the 2022–23 period.
