Guatemala, Venezuela Withdraw From Race for UN Security Council Seat
Panama is expected to be formally endorsed as the consensus candidate for the open Latin American seat on the U.N. Security Council, breaking a two-week deadlock.
The Group of Latin American and Caribbean Countries will meet Thursday and is expected to approve Panama's selection to represent the region, one day after Guatemala and Venezuela withdrew their competing bids for the seat.
Ecuador's U.N. ambassador, Diego Cordovez, announced the deal after meetings with the foreign ministers of both nations.
Panama's foreign ministry released a statement Wednesday saying it had not expected a seat on the Security Council, but would work to promote the U.N.'s "goals of peace and justice in the world."
The U.N. General Assembly must also approve Panama's selection for a two-year term on the council beginning January first. Peru holds the other elected Latin American seat on the 15-member council.
危地馬拉和委內(nèi)瑞拉退出聯(lián)合國(guó)安理會(huì)席位的競(jìng)爭(zhēng) (Guatemala, Venezuela Withdraw From Race for UN Security Council Seat)
巴拿馬預(yù)計(jì)將正式得到有關(guān)國(guó)家一致推選，成為拉丁美洲在聯(lián)合國(guó)安理會(huì)空缺席位的候選國(guó)家，從而打破兩個(gè)星期以來(lái)的僵局。
拉丁美洲和加勒比海國(guó)家組織星期四舉行會(huì)議，預(yù)計(jì)將批準(zhǔn)推選巴拿馬作為該地區(qū)的代表國(guó)家。危地馬拉和委內(nèi)瑞拉一天前決定退出競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。
厄瓜多爾駐聯(lián)合國(guó)大使科多韋斯與危地馬拉和委內(nèi)瑞拉兩國(guó)外長(zhǎng)會(huì)晤后宣布了上述的決定。
巴拿馬外長(zhǎng)星期三發(fā)表聲明說(shuō)，雖然巴拿馬原來(lái)并沒(méi)有期待會(huì)獲得安理會(huì)席位，不過(guò)將努力推動(dòng)聯(lián)合國(guó)的“世界和平與公正的目標(biāo)”。
巴拿馬在安理會(huì)的兩年任期還必須得到聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)的批準(zhǔn)，任期于明年1月1號(hào)開(kāi)始。在擁有15個(gè)成員國(guó)的安理會(huì)中，秘魯被推選獲得代表拉丁美洲的另一個(gè)席位。
