    • Luxembourg has unstintingly worked to contribute to this effort through peacekeeping operations, humanitarian interventions, protecting children affected by armed conflict, the women, peace and security agenda, as well as the mine clearance humanitarian activities in Ukraine. The experience we gained as an elected member of the Security Council in 2013 and 2014 showed us that elected members can make a real difference, especially when the permanent members of the Security Council are divided. It is for this reason that Luxembourg is asking for Member States to place their trust in it as it seeks a Security Council seat for the 2031-2032 period. We do this humbly, but firm in our conviction, our conviction that a small country can offer up a different perspective, can bring different positions closer together and help find common ground when this is particularly difficult. 5:30:09Copy
