The House of Representatives of the Republic of Liberia extends its full and unwavering support to the Government and People of Liberia in their noble quest to secure a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2026โ2027 term.
This historic bid marks a significant moment in Liberiaโs diplomatic journey and reflects the nationโs enduring commitment to global peace, security, multilateral cooperation, and democratic governance. Liberia, having made substantial contributions to peacekeeping, post-conflict recovery, and regional stability, is well-positioned to bring a unique voice and credible perspective to global peace and security discussions at the Security Council.
The House recognizes the pivotal role that the UNSC plays in maintaining international peace and security and believes that Liberiaโs presence on the Council will amplify the voice of smaller nations, especially within the West African region and the global community.
As representatives of the Liberian people, we affirm our collective commitment and readiness to support the Executive in all necessary diplomatic, legislative, and logistical undertakings to ensure the success of this bid. The Legislature under the gavel of Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon stands in full solidarity with Liberiaโs international partners, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and our diplomatic missions as they lead the campaign.
We thank other member States that have endorsed Liberiaโs bid and encourage other member states of the United Nations to endorse Liberiaโs candidacy, recognizing the countryโs long-standing contributions to global peace and Security, reconciliation, and the respect for democratic values on the African continent and beyond.
The House of Representatives would like also commend H.E Sarah Beyslow Nyanti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and our Ambassadors assigned in friendly countries, who have been instrumental in leading the campaign for this bid.
Again the Honorable House of Representatives remains very supportive in this venture as Liberia secure this seat.
I thank you!
