In accordance with the Security Council's rotation rules, whereby the ten non-permanent UNSC seats rotate among the various regional blocs into which UN member states traditionally divide themselves for voting and representation purposes, [1] the five available seats are allocated as follows:
- Two for the African Group
- One for the Asia-Pacific Group
- One for the Latin American and Caribbean Group
- One for the Eastern European Group
The five members served on the Security Council for the 2020–21 period.
Notably, St. Vincent and the Grenadines set a new record as the smallest ever Security Council member. [2] Both St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Estonia were elected to the Council for the first time.
