Veto Blocks Guterres Successor
All the candidates for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations faced a veto from one of the permanent members of the Security Council yesterday, Friday. None of the seven candidates, including four women and three men from different regions, secured the approval of the five major powers, which opens the possibility of new nominations. The American position was not officially clear, with other potential names being circulated, such as Nikolay Mladenov and Fuat Hadi Senerli Oglu. The winner must gain the support of nine members of the Council and avoid any veto in order to be presented to the General Assembly for final approval.
