United Nations
Sweden has been a member of the United Nations since 19 November 1946, and participates actively in the activities of the organisation, including as an elected member of the Security Council (1957–1958, 1975–1976 and 1997–1998), providing Dag Hammarskjöld as the second elected Secretary-General of the UN, etc. The strong interest of the Swedish Government and people in international cooperation and peacemaking has been supplemented in the early 1980s by renewed attention to Nordic and European security questions.
