The struggle to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council is not a short process for Indonesia. The desire to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council has existed since 2009, but Indonesia officially announced its nomination in 2016. Until finally on June 8, 2018, Indonesia was successfully elected as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2019-2020 period. This is the fourth time Indonesia has been entrusted with the task of being a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, after being elected last in the 2007-2008 period. Therefore, this research will explain what foreign policies were made by Indonesia when it was elected as a non-permanent member of the UNSC for the 2019-2020 period, and what factors influenced Indonesia to take these policies.
