The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has announced his intention to run for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations, emphasizing his preference for a practical diplomatic approach focused on resolving international crises
rather than issuing public criticisms. The race to succeed Antonio Guterres, whose term ends in early 2027, includes prominent international figures. Grossi stated that the UN's success requires maintaining open communication channels with all parties and avoiding stances that complicate
negotiation opportunities. In a related context, the Republic of Guyana officially nominated its UN Ambassador, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, for the position, citing her leadership during the country's UN Security Council membership. This comes amid calls from Latin America and other nations
to apply geographical rotation and grant the leadership to a woman for the first time in the organization's history.
