What now for Germany after humiliating UNSC defeat?

In last week’s elections for the nonpermanent members of the UN Security Council, the stunning loser was Germany, a major European power and the world’s third-largest economy. Berlin failed to win one of the two “West Europe and Others Group” spots, as it was comfortably beaten by Austria and Portugal. This was the first time Germany had failed in such an election bid, having previously served six two-year terms. This is a humiliation not least for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who immediately announced that Germany would stand again for the 2035-36 and 2043-44 terms.
