Secretary-general is the most high-profile leadership position to open up at the United Nations this year — but it is not the only one.
After weeks of speculation, spokesman Stéphane Dujarric confirmed to reporters Monday that U.N. chief António Guterres is “a candidate” for reelection in the fall.
“The secretary-general conveyed to [the president of the General Assembly] today that he is available to serve a second term as secretary-general of the United Nations, if that would be the will of the member states,” Dujarric said.
