On Tuesday, January 4, 2022, a flag installation ceremony was held for new members of the United Nations Security Council at the U.N. headquarters. The new members; Albania, Brazil, Gabon, Ghana, and the UAE were elected as the five non-permanent member nations to the Council for the term 2022-2023.
The flag ceremony is a tradition that Kazakhstan started when on the council in 2018.
The 15-member council is the UN’s most powerful body. China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States are permanent members, with veto power.
Other members are elected by the 193-member General Assembly for staggered, two-year terms that are allocated by global regions.
