The United Nations is in talks with outgoing Chilean President Michelle Bachelet over the possibility of appointing Chile’s first woman president as the agency’s special representative to Haiti or as U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s point person on women’s welfare, Foreign Policy’s Turtle Bay reports.
According to senior U.N. sources, Bachelet is interested in pursuing a senior position at U.N., preferably as the head of a U.N. agency.
“There are people who think she would be great for a number of U.N. jobs,” a senior U.N. diplomat said.
