UNITED NATIONS: Albania has taken over the rotating leadership of the United Nations Security Council for a month.
According to the Council's work plan for the month, Albania plans to hold two signature events: an open debate on strengthening accountability and justice for violations of international law, and a ministerial-level open debate on the role of regional organisations in implementing the Women, Peace and Security agenda in contexts of political turmoil and forcible power seizures, according to reports.

Briefings and consultations on the United Nations Office in Central Africa and the Lord's Resistance Army, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic, the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the mandate renewal of the authorization for member states to inspect vessels on the high seas off the coast of Libya bound for or from Libya are among the African issues.

A briefing on the secretary-report general's on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 of 2015, which endorsed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran's nuclear programme, is among the Middle East concerns.

\In June, the Council is set to convene to discuss two European problems. On June 6, a briefing on the maintenance of peace and security in Ukraine is scheduled.  In addition, the council will convene its annual meeting on bolstering EU-UN cooperation.
