2029–2030 UN Security Council campaign

Australia is running for a non-permanent seat on the Council for the 2029–2030 term, with elections to take place in June 2028.

As a medium-sized country, we have an interest in the multilateral system working effectively so all countries, big and small, can have their say.

We will seek to continue Australia's positive impact and legacy on the Council from our previous 2013–2014 term, where we established a strong reputation as an active, pragmatic, and outcomes-focused Member of the Council, based on our ability to build consensus for action to address complex security issues and in support of our direct national interests. Australian leadership of the Council's response to the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 and the first Council resolution on small arms and light weapons are prominent examples.
