Five new faces in UN Security Council

New York - In an election whose outcome has been known for months, Japan won a two-year term on the United Nations Security Council on Friday along with Argentina, Denmark, Greece and Tanzania.

Japan is expected to use its presence on the powerful UN body, starting on January 1, to spotlight its campaign for a permanent council seat.

There are sometimes hotly contested battles for Security Council seats, but not this year.

Friday's election by the 191 members of the UN General Assembly rubber-stamped the candidates selected by regional groups.
