The African Union Committee of Ten on Security Council reform announced the development of an action plan to address the historical injustice related to the African continent’s membership in the UN Security Council.
The Algerian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Attaf, indicated during the 11th Committee meeting in Algeria that the deliberations ended with a decision to adopt an ambitious action plan, aimed at benefiting from the renewed momentum of the Security Council reform file, and strengthening the growing support for the common African position.
The plan includes several points, including strengthening African unity, participating in government negotiations, communicating with various actors to expand their support, and participating in international entitlements to achieve gains in favor of pushing towards fairer African representation in the Security Council.
The Committee of Ten was established in 2005 with the aim of strengthening and coordinating the position of the African continent in the ongoing negotiations on reforming the Security Council and raising the level of African representation in it.
The committee includes 10 African countries: Algeria, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Libya, Namibia, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Senegal, and Zambia.
