UN – Election of new non-permanent Security Council members (4 June 2025)

France congratulates Bahrain, Colombia, Latvia, Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on their June 3rd election as non-permanent members of the UN Security Council.

The Security Council’s main responsibility under the UN Charter is maintaining international peace and security. France will work closely with each of these partners, whose two-year terms will begin on January 1, 2026, so that the Council can fulfill its mandate of conflict resolution and peacekeeping.

As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the UN Charter this month, France reaffirms its commitment to a rules-based international system and to a Security Council that guarantees our collective security. As a Permanent Member of the Security Council, we advocate open, more effective multilateralism.
