Ali takes place, Let us sit.

(i) Two permanent seats and two non permanent seats for African States

(ii) Two permanent seats and one non permanent seat for Asian States

Yes. There were two chairs here this morning before I left.

Asia would have two additional permanent seats and one additional non permanent seat.

l Two seats remain unfilled (see General Assembly decision 48 310).

Zaynab and Mustafa, two children in wheelchairs, are ferried through the fields with their families in a volunteer s van.

In this respect, at least two permanent seats, with their accompanying prerogatives, should be reserved for Africa.

Since two seats remain to be filled, one from the African and Asian States and one from the Eastern European States, we shall now proceed to the first restricted ballot.

With the creation of a special district, Black communities will have a minimum of two seats in the House of Representatives, guaranteeing them a permanent voice in the Congress of the Republic

That African vision entails the establishment of a 26 member Security Council in which our continent will have two permanent seats having the same prerogatives and privileges as the current permanent members, including the right of veto, as well as five non permanent seats.

In the spirit of reflecting the regional diversity of our Organization, we must consider positively the interest of Africa in being allotted at least two permanent seats on the Security Council and an increased number of non permanent seats.

8. As far as the allocation of additional Security Council seats is concerned, Africa should have two permanent seats with all privileges attached to permanent membership, and more non permanent seats.

For example, if in the past there had always been two seats for Africa, there should given what has emerged in connection with the reform of the United Nations and the enlargement of the Council be four or five member States whose membership is transferred every two years to other States.

My delegation is of the view that at a minimum the Security Council should be expanded to allocate permanent seats to Japan and Germany and up to six new rotating seats to be filled on a regional basis in order better to reflect the increased membership of the United Nations and the changed international situation.

In our desire to have at least two permanent seats, we do not subscribe to the notion of having two categories of permanent members, one category with veto powers and the other with none, as that state of affairs, in our view, would not add value to the status quo as far as Africa is concerned.

However, since the amendments would be so far reaching, and would affect not only the composition of the Security Council but would also have important implications for international relations, they should ideally enjoy the support of as many Members as possible.
