UAE candidate is asked about conflicts in ME as well as the role of UAE in Sudan, the latter of which she answers by saying she has stepped down from her country’s ministry. BUT UAE is still backing her financially and otherwise

More than 30 ambassadors from the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) gather at UN media stakeout to voice one, unified message: The next UN Secretary-General should be a national from Latin America and the Caribbean, citing both fairness across world regions and geographic rotation. CELAC noted that during the selection process thus far in the Security Council, candidates from Latin America and the Caribbean have consistently drawn the strongest support.

This level of public mobilization against an SG candidate is unprecedented in UN history! How will it impact SC voting? Some P5 may be uninfluenced by public outcry & factual bases. But likely to weigh significantly w/E10 govts who will be remembered if recommendation goes thru.

#NoToLana تدشين موقع: notolana.com حملة عالمية ضد ترشح لانا نسيبة لمنصب الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة. الموقع يجمع أدلة وشهادات وأصوات من حول العالم تكشف كل ما هو خاطئ في هذا الترشيح، ويتيح للجميع إيصال موقفهم مباشرة لصناع القرار. مستقبل الأمم المتحدة أهم من أن يُقرر بمعزل عن الرأي العام العالمي.

No to Lana. Armed the RSF. Now asking to run the UN.

UN experts have accused the UAE of arming and funding the RSF, the paramilitary behind the El Fasher massacre. The Security Council should not recommend Lana Nusseibeh.
