Security Council Starts UN Secretary Selection
The United Nations Security Council has begun consultations to select a new Secretary-General, succeeding Portuguese Antonio Guterres, whose second term will end at the end of December 2026. Five candidates are competing for the position, including both women and men. The nominations include the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, a former President of the United Nations General Assembly, a candidate from UNCTAD, as well as individuals from Senegal and Ecuador. The final vote on the selection is scheduled to take place in the coming months, with the new Secretary-General expected to assume his duties on January 1, 2027, amid international challenges related to security, peace, and humanitarian crises.
