Presiding over debates at the Security Council is a remarkable milestone for Sierra Leone, showcasing the country’s transformation and the critical role it can play on the international stage. For a country that has transitioned from a devastating civil war to a model of post-conflict recovery, this presidency symbolises hope and the potential for smaller nations to contribute meaningfully to global peace and security.
During the dinner, President Bio expressed his gratitude to the members of the Security Council and C-10, with a special acknowledgement of Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina J. Mohammed. He said her presence underscored the importance of Sierra Leone’s role in the global community and the support the country continued to receive from international partners.
As President Bio leads the Security Council, Sierra Leone’s voice will be amplified, bringing attention to the needs and aspirations of smaller nations and reinforcing the principles of peace and cooperation on a global scale.
On Monday, 12 August, President Bio will lead his signature event, the UNSC Debate on “Addressing the Historical Injustice and Enhancing Africa’s Effective Representation in the UN Security Council.”
Sierra Leone believes that Africa’s voice must be heard, and its demands for justice and equity must be met. By rectifying this historical injustice that has plagued the continent, the international community has a momentous opportunity to forge a more equitable and inclusive world order, one that upholds the dignity and aspirations of all nations, irrespective of their size or stature.
