After winning a non-permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council, Indonesia will push for “a habit of dialogue”, to improve women’s involvement in peacekeeping troops and highlight the Palestine conflict, says Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi. Indonesia defeated the Maldives on Friday in the only contested election for a seat on the Security Council starting January 1 and will join the UN’s most powerful body along with Germany, Belgium, South Africa and the Dominican Republic. The Council’s ten non-permanent seats, are allocated according to a rotation pattern set by the Assembly in 1963, to ensure fair regional representation on the Council: five from African and Asian and Pacific States; one from Eastern Europe; two from Latin American States; and two from Western European and Other States (WEOG).
