Speaker, hon Deputy President, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on Tuesday, 2 February 2010, the African Union Summit, which wrapped up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, endorsed South Africa's candidature for a nonpermanent seat on the United Nations Security Council;
2) further notes that the elections for the African seat of the council will be held during the 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly in October 2010 and, if elected, South Africa will serve a second term as a nonpermanent member of the council;
3) recognises that South Africa's possible candidature for 2011 to 2012 is guided by her commitment to strengthen the multilateral system and our support for a broader multilateral approach to questions of international peace and security;
4) further recognises that our nomination follows close on the heels of the AU Summit electing the country to serve on the AU's Peace and Security Council for a second term; and
5) welcomes the nomination of our country to the council, as this will give South Africa an opportunity to continue to promote the African agenda and to further contribute to achieving peace and stability on the continent and in all regions of the world.
Agreed to.
