How far has Elect the Council progressed?

Through consultations, meetings and lobbying across a broad spectrum of stakeholders, we have refined the concept from a broad idea to a well founded proposal for a legitimate and effective UN Security Council.

By the end of 2017 Elect The Council had presented and discussed various versions of the proposal in meetings with civil society, think tanks and governments in Berlin, Brussels, London, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Oslo, Stockholm, Nairobi, Abuja, Seoul, New Delhi, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Ankara, New York, Denver and Beijing. In addition, a large group of diplomats have attended many of the briefings on this proposal, particularly in South Africa and New York. Through a concerted outreach program, different versions of the concept were distributed to key missions in New York and to more than 100 global think-tanks.

With funding and support from the Ford Foundation and the ISS, Elect The Council has continued to make steady progress and has started gaining traction among international fora.
