New York City and Berlin. 12. October 2010. Germany has the entry with a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council on 12 October 2010 made it. The UN Security Council is one of the most influential bodies in the world. On the first ballot with 128 votes gave Germany a required two-thirds majority. Competition for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council were Canada and Portugal. Canada withdrew his candidacy to make Portugal a place in the Security Council possible.
In 2006, Germany has for the years 2011 and 2012 for a seat on the UN Security Council advertised. The FDP deputy spokesman Sisani Adib said that the German Federal Foreign Minister and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Guido Westerwelle gratitude is satisfied about the choice of Germany in the UN Security Council.
Guido Westerwelle said and I quote: "Germany would like to thank the many nations that have supported us with the candidacy for the UN Security Council. This election is a great vote of confidence, but also a leap of faith in the work of the Federal Republic of Germany. We will do everything in the next two years to justify the trust placed in us as well. We consider this Membership as a great responsibility and do it as a great opportunity for more and more for peace, security and development in the world can be. We are pleased that our commitment to peace and security, climate change and development, disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation and can be of course, for a value-oriented foreign policy, now continued in the Security Council stronger. The world knows that they can rely on us. Germany is a reliable country - this applies not only to our products, which also applies to our foreign policy. We are very pleased that this reliability appreciated by so many nations here in this election . Was "
on the admission of Germany to the group of non-permanent members of the UN Security Council says the Secretary General of the FDP, Christian Lindner:" Today is a good day for Germany. The vote for the temporary member of the UN Security Council is a great opportunity, the German commitment to international cooperation and strengthen disarmament.
This success in the twentieth year after the unit demonstrates confidence in our country. "
Lindner reiterate, Dr. Guido Westerwelle have done well to promote it in the final minutes before the vote for the inclusion of Germany in the Security Council. The choice of Germany was not sure. Germany had to face a competitive bid must.
Guido Westerwelle also highlighted that a conviction for "not in order that two continents like Africa and Latin America are not permanently represented on the Security Council." We go for a reform of the United Nations about "The weights in the world a better place to play. ". South Africa, India and Colombia were also chosen with non-permanent seats in the Security Council of the United Nations.
The foreign policy spokesman of the Left, Wolfgang Gehrcke, sees the inclusion of Germany with a non-permanent seat in UN Security Council the "responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security" of Germany. The membership of Germany in the World Security Council must bring a change in German foreign and development policy with them, said the Left leaders.
Germany can no longer afford to 0.341 percent of gross domestic product to remain far below the agreed 0.7 percent of the funds for development cooperation. The huge arms exports would have to "be stopped immediately after conviction by Wolfgang Gehrcke. But Germany, with his third place in the World League, the dealer, however, no guarantee. Germany as Member of the UN Security Council must take urgent initiatives for ending the war in Afghanistan. "added the politician.
The UN needs a new resolution on Afghanistan with the initiation of a withdrawal of NATO troops should be prepared. The proposals for reform of the United Nations should be based so much on the wishes of Germany, in the future as a permanent member of the World Security Council to sit, but Germany must do more to improve the functioning and effectiveness of the United Nations. The Left would continue to advocate that Germany at the United Nations in a role as a conscientious objector- profiling. With the Merkel government Westerwelle, this is unlikely, but the concern remains target of left and peace-loving foreign policy, said Wolfgang Gehrcke.
Germany is the third largest contribution payers in the United Nations. Currently, among the five permanent representatives on the UN World Security, the United States of America, Russia, China, Britain and France. The five permanent members of UN Security Council have a veto. The ten non-permanent members of the Council of the United Nations are elected for a term of two years.
