<\/a><\/p>\nPresident Thomson renewed the commitment President Lykketoft made to run his\u00a0Presidency in the most open and transparent manner possible. This also applies to the process of selecting and appointing the next United Nations Secretary-General.<\/p>\n
The position of Secretary-General is one of great importance that requires the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity, and a firm commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. The President of the General Assembly and of the Security Council invite candidates to be presented with proven leadership and managerial abilities, extensive experience in international relations, and strong diplomatic, communication and multilingual skills.<\/p>\n
Member States are invited to present candidates in a letter to the President of the General Assembly and the President of the Security Council.<\/p>\n
The Presidents of the General Assembly and of the Security Council will jointly circulate to all Member States, on an ongoing basis, and publish on this webpage, the names of individuals that have been submitted for consideration.<\/p>\n

As part of a more open, transparent and inclusive selection and appointment process, UN-NGLS is facilitating a call for questions from civil society<\/a> that can be asked of UN Secretary-General candidates during UN General Assembly dialogues with the candidates.\u00a0The first round of dialogues with 9 candidates took place 12 – 14 April 2016. The second round of dialogues with 2 additional candidates took\u00a0place with new candidates on 7 June.<\/p>\n
UN-NGLS will also convene a civil society Committee through an application process to review all questions submitted and create a short-list of 30 questions for the Office of the President of the General Assembly to select from for inclusion in the General Assembly dialogues.<\/p>\n
Civil society is\u00a0invited to\u00a0contribute questions via Twitter or Instagram using #UNSGcandidates, or send them in via an online form using the link above.\u00a0During the dialogues, civil society questions will be asked\u00a0via video.<\/p>\n
Additionally all candidates are asked to answer the same 10 selected civil society questions, which can be found here:\u00a010 civil society questions for all candidates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
