In a session held at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Iran was elected as the Vice Chair of the UN Charter Special Committee.
The Special Committee on the Charter of the United Nations and on the Strengthening of the Role of the Organization is holding its 2026 session from February 18 to 26.
At its 29th session in 1974, the General Assembly decided to establish an Ad Hoc Committee on the Charter of the United Nations to consider, inter alia, any specific proposals that governments might make with a view to enhancing the ability of the United Nations to achieve its purposes as well as other suggestions for the more effective functioning of the UN that might not require amendments to the Charter.
Since its 30th session, the General Assembly has reconvened the Special Committee every year, considered its successive reports and renewed and revised its mandate on an annual basis in its resolutions on the topic of the Report of the Special Committee.
