Winning the harder race: Strengthening Indonesia’s Campaign Governance for the United Nations Security Council 2029–2030
This paper examines strengthening Indonesia's campaign governance for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council 2029–2030, aligned with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Strategic Plan 2025–2029 and Asta Cita. Indonesia, having submitted its candidature in 2024, will compete against Iran in the June 2028 election at the 82nd UN General Assembly. While the 2018 campaign secured 144 votes, the 2028 contest presents greater challenges due to Iran's broader diplomatic reach, a more polarized multilateral environment, and potential complications from Indonesia's participation in the US-led Board of Peace. Using systems thinking, design thinking, and field interviews with operational staff, the study identifies campaign governance—not campaign activity—as Indonesia's central vulnerability. Two policy options are proposed: (1) INTEGRATE, an internal Ministry governance-strengthening framework comprising a revised Ministerial Decree, an Integrated Campaign Management System (ICMS), a development-aid commitment registry, and a digital institutional-memory mechanism; and (2) a whole-of-government coordination model anchored in a Presidential Decree. The paper recommends Policy Option I as the primary approach, offering the strongest balance between institutional impact and administrative feasibility, with a five-year phased implementation: three years building governance foundations toward the June 2028 election, followed by two years for preserving institutional knowledge and adapting the architecture for future candidature cycles.
