Abstract

The creation of United Nations’ Security Council is aimed to implement the purpose of maintaining international peace and security, as it is stated on the United Nations Charter. Indonesia, as one of the member states of the United Nations, has taken its role in the United Nations Security Council several times. The country has served its position in the Council as a non- permanent member for three times, which are for the periods of 1974-1975, 1995-1996, and 2007- 2008. In 2016, Indonesia announced its candidature as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the period of 2019-2020. Indonesia has a big amount of potential in terms of becoming the United Nations Security Council for the period of 2019-2020. First, Indonesia has been active in maintaining peace and security between the United Nations member states, for example by becoming an active contributor for the UN Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO). Second, Indonesia’s position as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council will give a chance for the country to speak up on current international issues, especially regarding democracy and terrorism. If Indonesia was selected as a non- permanent member for the Security Council, it will affect the country’s foreign policies in different sectors, especially those that are in relations with permanent members of the Security Council. The research question that this paper will investigate is “How does Indonesia’s candidature for the United Nations Security Council will affect the country’s foreign policy implementation?” The research methods that are used for this paper is literature review on Indonesia’s foreign policies.
