UN Security Council
Costa Rican Foreign
Minister Bruno Stagno
said Friday that Costa
Rica will serve as a
non-permanent member of
the UN Security Council
for two years starting
on January 1.
Costa Rica will work to
improve the cooperation
between the UN Security
Council and the
International Criminal
Court (ICC) in fighting
crimes against humanity,
Stagno, who was
attending a 15-day ICC
meeting in New York,
said in a communique.
The foreign minister has
also been working as
president of the ICC's
Assembly of States

2005.
"Costa Rica intends to
promote peace and
justice at the same time
and in a parallel
manner," he said.
During its participation
in the UN Security
Council, Costa Rica will
watch for the respect of
international laws and
international
humanitarian rights, as
well as disarmament and
peace, Stagno said.
