Suryaa Now International Desk: Efforts are on for the next Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), the most prestigious post in international politics... The race for the next Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), the most prestigious post in international politics, has become a hot topic of discussion. At a time when a senior diplomat from the UAE is aspiring for this top post, many international human rights groups have expressed deep concern. There is strong opposition to a UAE official heading the UN in the face of internal policies and foreign interference by the Abu Dhabi government.
Rights groups are demanding that the head of the United Nations, which is committed to global peace, transparency and the protection of human rights, has an appropriate record. The groups have raised concerns about the suppression of civil liberties and the stance adopted in regional conflicts. Those who sit on the top seat of the United Nations are warned to act impartially without any controversy, otherwise the moral values of the United Nations will be violated. At a time when the process of electing the next chief of the United Nations is in the drafting stage, these protests have caused a stir in the diplomatic circles.
With the Global South and the West already at odds on various issues, this candidacy dispute is likely to have an impact on the UN's internal equations. There are indications that this leadership race will get more juicy in the coming days.
