On 7 June 2021, in New York, Italy was elected as a member of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ESCOSOC) for the 2022-2024 three-year term, with 175 votes out of 182 voting countries.
This was the best result ever achieved by a Western Group country in this electoral round. It confirms the very high level of trust that Italy has earned in the field of multilateral diplomacy.
Italy s tenth term as a Member State of ECOSOC, since the Council was established in 1946, will begin on 1 January 2022; at the end of its further three-year term Italy will have been a member of ECOSOC for a total of 38 of its 78-year life.
