Security Council votes on UN Secretary-General
The United Nations Security Council is holding a second round of secret voting to select the next Secretary-General, amid a fierce competition among eight candidates, led by Costa Rican Rebecca Greenspan and the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi. This comes ahead of the likely appointment of a woman to the position for the first time since the organization's founding. The process is challenging due to the need for support from a majority of Council members and the absence of veto power from permanent members. The candidates face significant hurdles, especially given the complex international circumstances, as negotiations continue until a consensus candidate is agreed upon before the General Assembly approves the Secretary-General's appointment.
