UAE Nominates Lana Nusseibeh Amid UN Secretary-General Selection Process
The United Arab Emirates has nominated Lana Nusseibeh, a foreign ministry official, to compete for the position of UN Secretary-General, as no clear frontrunner has emerged. The current Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, will complete his term at the end of 2026. Other candidates include Costa Rica's Rebeca Grynspan, Guyana's Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Argentina's Rafael Grossi, Ecuador's Ivonne A-Baki and Maria Fernanda Espinosa, and Uganda's Olara Otunnu. Candidates must secure nine votes from the Security Council and avoid vetoes from its five permanent members before confirmation by the General Assembly.
