Usage
[edit]This template creates an infobox for elections of non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council in even-numbered years.
In line with the regional composition of the Security Council as determined by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1991 (XVIII), two members from the African Group or the Asia-Pacific Group, one member from the Latin American and Caribbean Group and two members from the Western European and Others Group are elected in even-numbered years. It is established practice that of the first two members, one should be from the African Group and one from the Asia-Pacific Group.
The template assumes that these requirements are fulfilled and provides parameters for the outgoing and incoming members of the respective groups. Typically the arguments for these parameters should be three-letter country code flag template calls, e.g. {{GHA}}
, but some countries use a special state version of their flag at the United Nations, e.g. {{flagcountry|BOL|state}}
.
The election_date
parameter is free-form and may include more than one day if the election stretched over two days (as in 2020) or had to be supplemented at a later date (as in 2013). The only requirement is that it ends in the four-digit year (as this is extracted to create the links to the map and the previous and next elections).
Setting the asia
parameter (to any value) causes what is now known as the Asia-Pacific Group to be abbreviated as "Asia" instead of "Asia-Pacific", in line with the designation "Asian Group" in use before 2011.
For future elections, the incoming (and even the outgoing) members may be omitted, and the date may be just the year if no date has been set.
