UN Security Council expands with five new non-permanent members.

Algeria, Guyana, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, and Slovenia have been elected as non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, starting in January for a two-year period. The Security Council is composed of 15 countries, five of which are permanent members with veto power. The 10 non-permanent members are elected by the General Assembly, and candidates must receive a two-thirds majority. The newly elected countries will join Ecuador, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, and Switzerland as non-permanent members of the Council.
