India was elected unopposed as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the term 2021-22 with an overwhelming support of 184 votes in the 193-member General Assembly in the election held Wednesday.
This is for the eight time that India has been elected to UNSC without veto powers, even as it pursues on a parallel track UN reforms aimed at getting a permanent seat.
India is all set to join the powerful 15-nation Security Council as a non-permanent member. India is a candidate for a non-permanent seat from the Asia-Pacific category for the 2021-22 term.
