Both Kenya and Djibouti had failed to secure the required two-thirds majority on Wednesday, or 128 votes. In the second round, Kenya received 129 votes, and Djibouti 62.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first round on Wednesday, Nairobi had scored 113 votes against Djibouti\u2019s 78. The rules of the elections demand at least two-thirds of the eligible UN member states voting to be declared the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifteen countries sit on the Security Council, the UN\u2019s most powerful organ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five are permanent members, who have the right to veto resolutions: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten non-permanent members are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms, with five elected each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining Kenya at the Council in January 2021 are India, Ireland, Mexico and Norway.&nbsp;They will replace Belgium, Dominican Republic, Germany, Indonesia and South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estonia, Niger, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tunisia and Vietnam will remain in the Council through the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN Security Council is the charged with maintaining global peace and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its decisions, by law, must be obeyed by all UN member states, giving its prestige and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:theafricancourier.de<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya won the much-coveted UN Security Council seat after beating its African rival Djibouti in second-round voting in New York on Thursday Kenya has been<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-international","two-columns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
