Overview
On September 28th 1960, just a few months after its accession to international sovereignty, Senegal became a member of the United Nations. Since then, the country has been elected twice a non permanent member of the Security Council between 1968-1969 and 1988-1989.
In addition, Senegal has been a member of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) six times and has held a seat at the former Commission for Human Rights for almost 30 years.
This outstanding presence, in the major bodies of the United Nations, not only demonstrates the important role that Senegal plays on the international arena, but also the attainment of the international community trust; confirmed by its brilliant reelection to the Human Rights Council in 2009.
In fact, Senegal, a land of peace, tolerance, dialogue and democracy, has vouched, since its adhesion to the UN, to fulfill its obligations in accordance to the UN charter, in order to promote the ideals of peace, tolerance, freedom and better living conditions.
