AFRICA IS STILL NOT A PERMANENT MEMBER OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL:

These two initiatives, when aligned with the context of the Summit of the Future held at the end of September 2024—with an agenda that includes discussions on pathways for UN reform—demonstrate the existence of an African momentum that the continent must seize to enhance its representation on the Security Council. [...] THINKING ABOUT THE PATHWAYS TO REALIZE AFRICA'S UN AMBITIONS The strategic window of opportunity available to the African continent to secure permanent seats on the Security Council deserves to be fully seized by the countries of the continent. [...] The first is an amendment via the General Assembly under Article 108, which requires a positive vote of two-thirds of the members with ratification of the same order and imperatively includes the five permanent members of the Security Council.
