LASPAD is pleased to announce the publication of the fourth issue of the Multilateralism Bulletin, a monthly open-access publication produced within the framework of the NAAM programme – Narrating Multilateral Action from Africa.
This December 2025 issue offers an in-depth analysis of recent multilateral developments, with a particular focus on the positions and roles of African states within United Nations institutions.
This issue highlights in particular:
• The resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council in December 2025, marked by a remarkable unanimity in an otherwise highly fragmented international context, notably concerning Somalia, the DRC, and UN missions;
• The role and positions of African non-permanent members of the Security Council, as well as the dynamics of the A3+ group;
• A detailed analysis of African voting patterns at the UN General Assembly, especially on issues related to disarmament, Palestine/Israel, decolonisation, and international security;
• Original cartographic visualisations illustrating voting trends and regional configurations across the African continent;
• An overview of other key developments in African multilateral affairs during December 2025.
Conceived as a monitoring, analytical, and knowledge-sharing tool, the Multilateralism Bulletin seeks to document—from Africa—African practices, strategies, and contributions to global governance.
📄 The Multilateralism Bulletin No. 4 – December 2025 is available in open access
