Summary/Abstract: The last three presidencies of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) demonstrate that success depends on the ability of the chairing state’s diplomacy to respond effectively to the challenges to international peace and security. The experience of the states that have recently presided over the UNSC will encourage Poland to seek innovative ways to popularise the issues before the council, including those it wants to bring to the fore. At the same time, this experience induces Poland to identify areas in which it can possibly introduce new practices and leave its mark.
