Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with profound jubilation and great sense of pride the re- election of South Africa as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, UNSC, for the period 2011-2012;
2) acknowledges that the re-election of South Africa to the United Nations' most powerful seat signals a global vote of confidence in the role the country continues to play in international diplomacy, particularly in championing the African Renaissance in such areas as peacekeeping, security, human rights and economic development in the African continent; and
3) takes this opportunity to congratulate all the South Africans, particularly our ambassadors and the Department of International Relations and Co-operation, for their dedication and great sense of commitment to diligently serve our nation and ensure that we continue to move decisively from our divided past to stand tall on the shoulders of the world.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
