The UN Security Council has long been criticised as an outdated institution which does not reflect the realities of the modern world. But the five countries that have won non-permanent seats on the council give it a complexion far more in keeping with the global order of the 21st century.
Critics have argued the Security Council's structure of five permanant veto-wielding members - the US, UK, France, China and Russia - together with 10 non-permanent members, has concentrated influence in the hands of a small number of countries who were powerful when the body was created in the aftermath of the second world war. But with some of the world's most important emerging economies winning seats on a council that already includes Brazil, a South American powerhouse, and Nigeria, a key African power, the UN's most powerful body looks more representative than ever before. So how will the latest members seek to use their new international influence? India South Africa Germany Colombia Portugal.
