BEWARE: The Netherlands formally elected in UN Security Council

The Netherlands was chosen as a member of the UN Security Council in 2018. The election was a formality because the Netherlands and Italy had already agreed to divide the seat for the period 2017-2018.

Both countries fought last year for one vacant temporary seat of two years, but both received insufficient support. Then it was agreed that Italy occupied the seat this year and the Netherlands next year. It's a rarity that two countries share a temporary seat.

The Security Council focuses on the preservation of peace and security and imposes sanctions, deploying peacekeeping forces and influencing policies. The US, Russia, China, France and Great Britain are permanent members, the other ten members rotate. In March of 2018, the Netherlands is one month chairman of the Security Council.

It is the sixth time since 1946 that the Netherlands is joining the Netherlands as a non-permanent member. "Membership is an excellent opportunity for the highest level of influence and subjects that are important for us to get on the agenda," says Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Item added to the list. (This one free of charge)

The UN Security Council, maintaining global peace and security for the past half century.

China, France, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, and the United States.

You are laughing at your own country, do you realize?

Oh did you just realize that China was a permanent member of the UNSC?

And yes, I was fully aware of that. We have had countless arguments on here about the same topic.

Just because my country is a part of it doesn't mean that the UNSC as an organization hasn't failed in its primary purpose, to maintain global peace and security.

When every single one of the five UNSC permanent members has the power to veto any resolution they want, for whatever reason, it makes the organization pretty useless.

Like with the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, all the so-called international rules have been thrown out the window.

UNSC is a joke. UNSC is a failure.

Yeah, Iceland is at the top of the "Global Peace Ranking". I say we all vote to gang up on them and kick their smartass peacenik butts so other countries can have a chance to be #1.

It doesn't have to be something big. Maybe just an amphibious landing with a few tactical nukes here and there.

 

[MultaniGuy]

So what if the netherlands is part of the UNSC!

Yadayadayada. You were still laughing at (the impotence of) your own country in this context. Is there a reason why China hasn't withdrawn from the UN and/or the SC after all those years? I mean, if it is so inconsequential?

But it has been useful in peacekeeping operations around the world though.

 

[Fledgingwings]

UNSC has lost its worth.just a tool for USA and nato to legalize their punk activities.

Added to the list, thx

(in Iceland's defence: they do make a yogurt-like low-fat dairy product unique to Iceland with rich flavor and a creamy thick texture as well as an excellent source of calcium and protein, called Skyr. You might want to take that into account. It will drive my price up though)

So what if the netherlands is part of the UNSC!

Yep, that's a POV too
