Security Council votes on next UN Secretary-General
The article reviews the efforts of the United Nations Security Council in selecting the next Secretary-General. A second secret ballot session is being held to choose the most suitable candidate from among several contenders, including Rebeca Grynspan, the former Vice President of Costa Rica, who received the most support in the first round. Observers expect the voting results to change as members attempt to exclude some candidates, with a requirement of at least nine Security Council members' support and the need to overcome veto power by the major powers to ensure the appointment passes. The final name is expected to be approved by the General Assembly, in accordance with the tradition of appointing someone from Latin America, amid calls for a woman to assume the position for the first time in history.
