Monrovia, Liberia — Honorable Clarence G. Gahr, Representative of Margibi County Electoral District #5 and Joint Chair of the Houses’ Committee on Public Accounts, Audit & Expenditure, has issued a powerful message endorsing Liberia’s campaign for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
His statement underscores the nation’s evolving role on the global stage and its commitment to peace, diplomacy, and multilateral cooperation.
In his special message, Hon. Gahr highlighted Liberia’s remarkable transformation over the past 15 years.
Emerging from a prolonged period of civil unrest, Liberia has successfully transitioned into a resilient democracy and a valued partner in international peacekeeping efforts.
“We are no longer just beneficiaries of international support; we are now contributors to global stability,” Gahr emphasized.
Liberia’s aspiration to join the Security Council reflects not only a desire for greater influence but also a commitment to amplify the voices of post-conflict nations and emerging democracies.
According to Gahr, Liberia’s presence on the Council would bring crucial perspectives on justice, peace, and sustainable development—issues that resonate deeply with many countries striving to overcome conflict and build lasting peace.
“Let our story strengthen the global conversation for peace and security,” Gahr declared. “Let history record that Liberia rose not for herself alone, but for the causes that bind humanity together.”
In closing, Hon. Gahr called on the international community to acknowledge Liberia’s readiness and rightful place in global decision-making forums.
He urged collective efforts to elevate Africa’s voice in the pursuit of peace, reinforcing the continent’s growing influence in international affairs.
As Liberia advances its bid, the nation’s leadership and citizens alike remain hopeful that their country’s journey from conflict to peace will inspire global confidence and support.
The campaign for the UN Security Council seat marks a significant milestone in Liberia’s ongoing story of recovery, resilience, and renewed leadership on the world stage.
