Somalia becomes a member of the Security Council today


Somalia, Denmark, Greece, Pakistan and Panama are expected to receive seats in the United Nations Security Council on Thursday, after a secret vote at the General Assembly meeting.


The world's 193 members are set to vote to elect five countries to serve on the Security Council for a two-year term.


These five members will join the five permanent members who have a veto in the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France and the five countries elected last year Algeria, Guyana, South Korea, Sierra Leone and Slovenia.


The Security Council is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.


The five countries expected to win the Security Council seats on Thursday, have previously been in the Pakistan Security Council seven times, Panama five times, Denmark four times, Greece twice and Somalia once.
