India defeats China to win a seat in the prestigious UN body The Economic and Social Council

While Afghanistan and India polled 39 and 38 votes respectively, China could only muster 27 votes as the majority required was 28. The defeat is a telling reflection of the poor image of China at UN bodies after its handling of the Corona virus, Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrations and the treatment of Uyghur Muslims.

While Afghanistan and India polled 39 and 38 votes respectively, China could only muster 27 votes as the majority required was 28. The defeat is a telling reflection of the poor image of China at UN bodies after its handling of the Corona virus, Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrations and the treatment of Uyghur Muslims.

India has won a seat at the prestigious Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), a subsidiary body of the UN, by defeating China and has become a member of Commission on Status of Women. Three countries India, Afghanistan and China had contested the elections for a seat in ECOSOC. While Afghanistan and India garned sufficient votes, China failed to get the required votes to be a member of the prestigious body.
 
The seat earmarked for Asia-Pacific states had 54 ballots with 28 being the a majority mark for a seat. While Afghanistan and India polled 39 and 38 votes respectively, China could only muster 27 votes. The defeat is a telling reflection of the poor image of China at UN bodies after its handling of the Corona virus, Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrations and the treatment of Uyghur Muslims.
 
 
 
Tirumuri, PR of India to UN in New York, tweeted about the victory. “India wins seat in prestigious #ECOSOC body! India elected Member of Commission on Status of Women #CSW. It’s a ringing endorsement of our commitment to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in all our endeavours. We thank member states for their support. @MEAIndia”, he tweeted.
 
India will be a member of United Nation’s Commission on Status of Women for four years i.e 2021 to 2025.
