Ambassador, Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations

How do you get ready to join the UN Security Council? Not sure what the right answer is, but at the Danish Mission to the UN we have done all the things we could think of. Including: ✔️ Learn - a ton of trainings. The UN secretariat and others helped prepare our team with everything from country files and subsidiary organs to the intricate procedures of the Security Council. ✔️ Listen - we have connected with as many as we could. Diplomats in New York, colleagues around the world, civil society organisations, academics and many many more. ✔️ Practice - a "dry run" where we for a month pretended to be a full Council member and prepared for all meetings accordingly. We learnt a lot from that and were able to adapt our processes, templates and much more. 🍸Toast - we rounded off the preparations with a toast with the past when a bottle of aquavit (snaps) appeared, left by our colleagues from the last Danish membership of the UN Security Council in 2005-06! Denmark is entering the Security Council on 1 January 2025. Team Denmark at Denmark in the United Nations is ready!
