Denmark officially took over the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council on Saturday for the month of August, succeeding the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Denmark’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Christina Markus Lassen, is scheduled to hold a press conference on Monday to outline the Security Council’s program of work after members formally approve the monthly agenda during a morning session.

The 15-member Security Council consists of five permanent members with veto power—China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States—and 10 non-permanent members elected by the UN General Assembly for two-year terms based on regional representation.

Alongside Denmark, the current non-permanent members are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Colombia, Bahrain, Somalia, Liberia, Greece, Latvia, Pakistan, and Panama.

The Security Council is one of the United Nations’ six principal organs, alongside the General Assembly, the Secretariat, the International Court of Justice, the Economic and Social Council, and the Trusteeship Council, which is no longer active.
