The member states of the African Union (AU) are divided into five geographic regions of the African Union.[1]
When a principal organ of the United Nations allocates a certain number of seats to the African Group, such as on the Security Council or ECOSOC, the African Union distributes these seats based on these geographic regions.[2] (However, even though Morocco was not a member of the African Union between 1984-2017, it was still eligible to be picked.) States must apply to the Executive Council's Committee on Candidatures in order to become a candidate.[3] The Committee allocates seats roughly by proportion (for example, the Western Africa subregion usually gets the largest number of seats).[4]
