reported that these countries succeeded Ireland , Kenya , Mexico, Norway and India. At the same time, Mozambique and Switzerland joined the United Nations Security Council for the first time in history.
International Crisis Group Analysis Center expert Richard Gowan said: "The overall atmosphere of the Security Council has become bad due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In this context, elected member states play an important role in promoting Security Council diplomacy, especially on issues where the five permanent members are divided."
He said that outgoing Security Council members Ireland and Norway played a particularly important role in the Security Council's diplomacy in 2022 on issues such as Afghanistan , Bosnia and Syria .
He pointed out, "I think the elected member states will play a similar role in 2023, which is to seek compromise on sensitive issues during a period of high geopolitical tensions."
