Bahrain has been elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
It was among five countries elected to serve on Security Council, the UN said today.
Other four nations are Colombia, Congo, Latvia, and Liberia. They will serve two-year terms beginning in January 2026.
The five countries will serve through the end of 2027 on the UN body responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
They will join the five non-permanent members elected last year – Denmark, Greece, Pakistan, Panama, and Somalia – who will serve through 2026.
The Security Council has 15 members: five permanent members – China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States – who hold veto power, and 10 non-permanent members elected by the General Assembly for staggered two-year terms.
Elections are held annually by secret ballot, with seats allocated by regional group.
Candidates must secure a two-thirds majority in the 193-member General Assembly to be elected.
