SECURITY COUNCIL SEAT STILL VACANT
The government of Venezuela may propose Bolivia as a possible
candidate for the empty Latin American seat on the UN Security

produce a 2/3rds majority for either Venezuela or Guatemala. In the

deadline, Venezuela had yet to officially withdraw from the race and
the Group of Latin American and Caribbean Countries were in a special
meeting to try to break the stalemate.
