UNITED NATIONS – Mexico, Austria, Turkey, Japan and Uganda have won non-permanent seats on the powerful U.N. Security Council.
Iceland and Iran however failed Friday to get a seat on the 15-member council in voting at a meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. The five new members will serve two-year terms.
Austria and Turkey beat Iceland in the battle for two European seats. Iran – a country under U.N. sanctions – did not make it past the first round of voting, losing the Asian seat to Japan.
Mexico and Uganda ran unopposed and won seats in their regions.
Ten of the council's 15 seats are filled by the regional groups for two-year stretches. The other five are occupied by its veto-wielding permanent members: Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.
