The FSC Chairmanship rotates every four months according to (French) alphabetical order. The Chairmanship takes the lead in setting the agenda for each meeting and draws attention to issues concerning the implementation of commitments adopted by the Forum.

Azerbaijan currently holds the FSC Chairmanship for the first term of 2022. It was preceded by Austria and will be followed by Belarus. The FSC Chairperson is assisted by the incoming and the outgoing Chairpersons, who together form the FSC Troika. The three successive Chairmanships of each year jointly develop the Tentative Annual Working Programme of the FSC.

Azerbaijan’s FSC Chairmanship programme will cover important and timely topics such as compliance with international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians; humanitarian mine action; small arms and conventional ammunition; the role of non-aligned countries in the European security architecture; countering terrorism; United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security; arms control and confidence- and security- building measures; and post-conflict rehabilitation and peace building.
