}} The first ever United Nations Security Council elections were held on 12 January 1946 during the 1st session of the United Nations General Assembly, held at Westminster Central Hall in the City of Westminster, London, England, United Kingdom. The elections were for six non-permanent seats on the UN Security Council for two- and one-year mandates commencing immediately upon election, and to expire upon the date of the next elections, in November 1946 and September 1947, respectively.〔http://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/%7B65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9%7D/SC%20Election%20GAOR%201st%20Session%20Part%201%2014th%20Plenary.pdf〕 ==Voting on membership== The election was managed by the then-President of the United Nations General Assembly Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium. All 51 then-members were to write the names of the six nations they wished to elect to the Security Council. No previous candidacies were made. New Zealand expressed its wishes for a member from the South Pacific to be elected, with Australia being the "obvious choice" in their opinion, and themselves refraining from candidacy. The representative of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic made a proposal for the membership to be elected, consisting of Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, and Poland. Following this proposal, the representatives of both New Zealand and Norway declined of candidating themselves. The results of the votes were as follows: First round with 50 valid and one not valid papers, one paper being valid with only 4 names on it: This resulted in the election of Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Poland to the Council, all of them having achieved the requisite two-thirds majority of 34 votes. One seat remained to be filled, and the rules required for that one nation to be elected from the two most successful candidates not elected; that is, Australia or Canada. This was to be decided upon in a second vote. Second round with 50 valid and one not valid papers: Australia 27 Canada 23 This round was inconclusive, as neither nation obtained the required 34 votes. Third round with 51 valid papers: Australia 28 Canada 23 This round was also inconclusive, however, Canada then retired its candidacy. Fourth round〔http://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/%7B65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9%7D/SC%20Election%20GAOR%20Plenary%20Part%20II.pdf〕 with 49 valid and two not valid papers: Australia 46 Canada 3 Australia was thus elected as the sixth non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Nations Security Council election, January 1946」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
