With 2 months to go to UNSG selection, no consensus for any candidate. UNSC members put Grynspan and Grossi at top of ladder, but 4 discourage votes each. New entrant from UAE Nusseibeih gets less than half of the encourage votes.

Disappointing start for Lana Nusseibeh. But this poll wasn't color coded, so we don't know how P5 voted. More daylight between Grynspan and the others, but this isn't over.

La última encuesta de los miembros del Consejo de Seguridad para elegir SG ONU parece recoger la petición de CELAC de que la rotación regional se respete. Es momento para que las candidaturas inviables se retiren y los países de ALC se pongan de acuerdo en un nombre.

Together with @HelenClarkNZ and #IrinaBokova, my fellow co-founders of @GWLvoices, we wrote this OpEd for International Women’s Day last March. “Not any person, not any woman, not any man.” A message that resonates even more strongly today. Well worth revisiting!

🇬🇷⚓️Greek ⁠PM ​Kyriakos Mitsotakis called for ​a global maritime truce on Thursday, saying attacks on civilian ​commercial ‌shipping were ⁠unacceptable + threatened international trade and ‌security. Speaking at the UNSC on ‌emerging technologies & maritime security, he said disruptions to freedom of navigation ​drive up shipping and insurance costs, create uncertainty in global markets and ultimately ⁠increase costs for consumers.
