Candidates propose plans for UN Secretary-General succession
Six candidates are competing to succeed António Guterres as Secretary-General of the United Nations, presenting their priorities in a televised debate before the General Assembly. The candidates discuss the challenges facing the organization, including the Security Council crisis, financial pressures, and the escalation of international crises. There is no clear frontrunner, and it is rumored that diplomats may open the field to additional candidates, with some countries potentially supporting figures like Gianni Infantino, sparking debates about his neutrality and chances of winning the position. Votes in the Security Council and the General Assembly will soon determine Guterres's successor, whose term ends at the year's close.
