E10&UNSC: 12 Rules for Campaigning and Membership

This report focuses on a comparative analysis of six countries from the Baltics (Estonia and Lithuania), Northern Europe (Ireland, Norway and Sweden), and Eastern Europe (Poland) that have been elected to the UN Security Council non-permanent member’s seat since 2014  – the year when Russia started its aggression against Ukraine.

This report provides a shared outlook for active, effective, and visible election campaigns and membership at the Security Council.

The insights are valuable to Latvia which shares the same features with the analysed countries and has presented its candidature for a seat at the Security Council. If elected, Latvia will serve on the UN Security Council for the very first time.
