leading with 10 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, ahead of Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett (Guyana, 9 votes) and Rafael Grossi (Argentina, 7 votes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 23, a public debate involving the six candidates in the race at that time was held in the UN General Assembly hall, organized by General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock in cooperation with Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day after the debate, Uganda put forward a seventh candidate \u2014 Olara Otunnu, a former UN Under-Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, who received the lowest level of support of all the candidates in the first straw poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among those seeking the office are three women who support promoting abortion on the international stage: Michelle Bachelet of Chile, Mar\u00eda Fernanda Espinosa of Ecuador, and Rebeca Grynspan of Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The selection process remains largely confidential: after further rounds of the secret straw poll in the Security Council, a closed-door recommendation will follow, and then, in keeping with established practice, a vote by acclamation in the General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the European Union, the government of the United States did not actively take part in the public dialogues with the candidates held at the General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The selection procedure: the first straw poll now behind us<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second five-year term of the current UN Secretary-General, Portuguese national Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, ends on December 31, 2026. Seven candidates are competing to succeed him: Michelle Bachelet (Chile), Mar\u00eda Fernanda Espinosa (Ecuador), Rafael Mariano Grossi (Argentina), Rebeca Grynspan (Costa Rica), Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett (Guyana), Macky Sall (Senegal), and Olara Otunnu of Uganda (put forward last, on July 24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 23, a public debate involving the six candidates in the race at that time was held in the UN General Assembly hall in New York, titled \u201cUN Town Hall: The Next Secretary-General,\u201d organized by General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock in cooperation with Bloomberg and moderated by journalists from the news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In line with established practice, on July 30, 2026, the fifteen members of the Security Council took part in the first secret straw poll, in which each of them indicated, for every candidate, whether they were \u201cencouraging,\u201d \u201cdiscouraging,\u201d or expressing \u201cno opinion.\u201d The results formally remain confidential, although some of them have leaked to the press:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rebeca Grynspan (Costa Rica) \u2014 10 \u201cencourage\u201d votes (leader of the first round)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett (Guyana) \u2014 9 \u201cencourage\u201d votes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rafael Mariano Grossi (Argentina) \u2014 7 \u201cencourage\u201d votes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Michelle Bachelet (Chile) \u2014 6 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 5 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d 4 \u201cno opinion\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Macky Sall (Senegal) \u2014 6 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 7 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d 2 \u201cno opinion\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mar\u00eda Fernanda Espinosa (Ecuador) \u2014 5 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 2 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d 8 \u201cno opinion\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Olara Otunnu (Uganda) \u2014 2 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 5 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d 8 \u201cno opinion\u201d (the lowest level of support of all the candidates)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process will be repeated in successive rounds until a candidate emerges who enjoys the support of a majority of the Council\u2019s members and faces no objection from any of the five permanent members holding the right of veto: the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France. Based on the two most recent selection procedures, from 2007 and 2016, the Security Council is expected to submit its final recommendation to the General Assembly by October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire remainder of the process remains largely confidential: once the rounds of the secret straw poll in the Security Council are complete, that body will issue a closed-door recommendation, followed, if necessary, by a closed vote in the General Assembly. Since 1966, every UN Secretary-General has ultimately been confirmed by the General Assembly by acclamation, after the closed-door consultation procedure has run its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Secretary-General\u2019s powers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the Charter of the United Nations, the Secretary-General serves as the organization\u2019s chief administrative officer, responsible for its efficient functioning. In practice, this role has expanded considerably in recent decades. As the UN budget has grown, successive Secretaries-General have accumulated ever-greater powers and control over the organization\u2019s resources. Since the early 2000s, the office has increasingly functioned less as a purely administrative post and more like that of a political leader with his or her own policy agenda \u2014 particularly in debates on social policy, including abortion and gender ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The change of Secretary-General offers the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump an opportunity to shift the direction of this policy, although it is not clear whether the American side sought advance commitments from the candidates on this front. While the European Union and left-leaning governments actively sought public assurances from the candidates that they would continue policies supporting abortion, gender ideology, hate-speech regulation, and climate policy, the United States government did not take part in any of the public dialogues with the candidates held at the General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Union\u2019s delegation to the UN stated that the organization needs a leader capable of building trust, reducing polarization, and defending the UN Charter. The EU delegation stressed that only 1% of UN system spending is allocated to human-rights mandates. The EU delegation declared its concern over \u201cnormative attacks on human rights\u201d and asked every candidate for their position on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Candidate profiles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rebeca Grynspan (Costa Rica) \u2014 10 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, leader after the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebeca Grynspan \u2014 an economist born in San Jos\u00e9 to a family of Jewish refugees \u2014 served as vice president of Costa Rica and minister of housing from 1994 to 1998. She later headed the UNDP\u2019s Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean, served as UNDP deputy administrator (2010\u20132014), and was secretary-general of the Ibero-American Conference (2014\u20132021). Since September 2021, she has been secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the first woman to hold that position in the institution\u2019s 60-year history. In that role, she has coordinated the UN\u2019s Global Crisis Response Group on Food, Energy and Finance, among other things, and took part in negotiations enabling the export of grain from Ukraine. In the Security Council\u2019s first straw poll, she received the highest level of support of all seven candidates \u2014 10 \u201cencourage\u201d votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett (Guyana) \u2014 9 \u201cencourage\u201d votes in the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett \u2014 born in the Indigenous village of Santa Rosa in the Barima-Waini region, she became the first Indigenous Guyanese to hold the post of the country\u2019s minister of foreign affairs (2008\u20132015), having previously served as minister of Amerindian affairs (2001\u20132008). After a change of government in 2015, she worked at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Geneva. Since 2020, she has been Guyana\u2019s permanent representative to the UN in New York, where she led her country\u2019s delegation during its term on the Security Council (2024\u20132025) and chaired the Group of 77 and China. As Guyana\u2019s permanent representative, she drew attention to restricted access to \u201creproductive care\u201d for women in the Gaza Strip and to migration as an issue requiring international cooperation. She is married with two children. In the first straw poll, she received 9 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, the second-best result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rafael Mariano Grossi (Argentina) \u2014 7 \u201cencourage\u201d votes in the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rafael Mariano Grossi \u2014 an Argentine diplomat with more than 40 years of experience in nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, holds a doctorate in international relations from the Graduate Institute in Geneva. Since December 2019, he has headed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), where his mandate was unanimously extended for a second four-year term in 2023. He previously served, among other roles, as Argentina\u2019s ambassador to Austria, chief of cabinet at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and twice as chair of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. As head of the IAEA, he has overseen, among other things, the verification of Iran\u2019s nuclear activities and the safety mission at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. He is married with eight children. In the first straw poll, he received 7 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, placing third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Michelle Bachelet (Chile) \u2014 6 \u201cencourage\u201d votes in the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michelle Bachelet \u2014 a pediatrician by training, was imprisoned and lived in exile in her youth during the rule of Augusto Pinochet. She served twice as president of Chile (2006\u20132010 and 2014\u20132018), the first woman to hold that office in the country\u2019s history. From 2010 to 2013, she was the first executive director of UN Women, and from 2018 to 2023 she served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. In 2017, during her second presidential term, she brought about the repeal of Chile\u2019s total ban on abortion and the introduction of legal abortion in three circumstances. Under her leadership, Chile also legalized same-sex unions (2015). As UN High Commissioner, she publicly criticized the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson (2022). Chile\u2019s new government withdrew its support for her candidacy in March 2026. In the first straw poll, she received 6 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 5 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d and 4 \u201cno opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Macky Sall (Senegal) \u2014 6 \u201cencourage\u201d votes in the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Macky Sall \u2014 a geological engineer by training, served as president of Senegal from 2012 to 2024, having previously served as prime minister (2004\u20132007) and speaker of the National Assembly (2007\u20132008). During his presidency, he also chaired the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). As president of Senegal, he publicly defended keeping homosexuality criminalized in the face of international pressure, arguing that states should not impose their values on one another. His candidacy for Secretary-General was put forward by Burundi in March 2026 \u2014 Senegal itself did not officially endorse it until July 2026. Sall is the only African candidate in the race. In the first straw poll, he received 6 \u201cencourage\u201d votes and 7 \u201cdiscourage\u201d \u2014 the most votes against of any candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mar\u00eda Fernanda Espinosa (Ecuador) \u2014 5 \u201cencourage\u201d votes in the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mar\u00eda Fernanda Espinosa \u2014 a diplomat, poet, and former minister, twice headed Ecuador\u2019s ministry of foreign affairs (2007\u20132008 and 2017\u20132018) and its ministry of national defense (2012\u20132014). From 2018 to 2019, she was president of the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly \u2014 the fourth woman and the first Latin American to hold that office. After her term ended, she joined the steering committee of the Generation Equality Forum. During her hearing before the General Assembly, she voiced concern over \u201cnormative attacks\u201d on the rights of women and girls and on gender equality. In the first straw poll, she received 5 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 2 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d and 8 \u201cno opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Olara Otunnu (Uganda) \u2014 2 \u201cencourage\u201d votes in the first straw poll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olara Otunnu \u2014 born on September 6, 1950, in Gulu District in northern Uganda, studied law at Makerere University. After fleeing the regime of Idi Amin, he continued his education at Oxford and at Harvard Law School. From 1980 to 1985, he was Uganda\u2019s permanent representative to the UN, and from 1985 to 1986 he served as foreign minister, playing a significant role in reaching the Nairobi peace agreement. As president of the Security Council in December 1981, he introduced the secret-straw-poll procedure for selecting the Secretary-General still used today, known as the \u201cOtunnu formula.\u201d From 1990 to 1998, he headed the International Peace Academy, and from 1998 to 2005 he was the first UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. After returning to domestic politics, he took the helm of the Uganda People\u2019s Congress and ran for president of Uganda in 2011. His candidacy for Secretary-General was put forward by Uganda on July 24, 2026 \u2014 making him the seventh and oldest (75) candidate in the race. His work to date has focused on protecting children in armed conflict and peacebuilding. In the first straw poll, he received the lowest level of support of any candidate: 2 \u201cencourage\u201d votes, 5 \u201cdiscourage,\u201d and 8 \u201cno opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The debate and the first straw poll<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the July 23 debate, the candidates answered questions from the moderators and from representatives of member states, non-governmental organizations, and UN staff. The questions concerned, among other things, reform of the Security Council, the organization\u2019s liquidity crisis, the Secretary-General\u2019s role in relation to armed conflicts, the regulation of artificial intelligence, and the role of the private sector. Issues related to abortion or \u201csexual and reproductive rights\u201d were not the subject of direct questions from the moderators during this part of the debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day after Olara Otunnu\u2019s candidacy was submitted, on July 30, 2026, the Security Council held the first secret straw poll among all seven candidates, opening the confidential phase of the selection process. Further rounds of the straw poll are expected in the coming weeks, as the field of candidates is narrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In keeping with historical practice, once all the rounds of the secret straw poll in the Security Council are complete and a candidate has emerged who faces no objection from any of the five permanent members, the General Assembly will confirm the new Secretary-General, who will take office on January 1, 2027, for a five-year term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert commentary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s slate of candidates shows clearly that the office of UN Secretary-General long ago ceased to be the purely administrative function described in the Charter of the United Nations. Who takes the office of Secretary-General has a direct bearing on the direction the entire UN bureaucracy will take. Agencies such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UN Women, and the World Health Organization (WHO) operate under the Secretary-General\u2019s political authority, and it is through these very agencies that concepts such as \u201csexual and reproductive rights\u201d have for years been making their way into the organization\u2019s policy documents, despite the absence of any consent from member states expressed in treaties. The results of the first straw poll show that the race remains open \u2014 the coming rounds in the Security Council and the decision of the five permanent members holding the right of veto will carry significance reaching far beyond the personal nomination itself, notes Julia Ksi\u0105\u017cek of the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Translated using Claude.ai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See also:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/comments\/abortion-on-demand-gender-ideology-censorship-and-womens-ordination-the-united-nations-descends-into-absurdity\/\"><u>Abortion on Demand, Gender Ideology, Censorship, and\u2026 Women\u2019s Ordination: The United Nations Descends into Absurdity<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/ideological-language-curbed-under-international-pressure-final-document-of-the-un-commission-on-the-status-of-women\/\"><u>Ideological Language Curbed Under International Pressure\u2014Final Document of the UN Commission on the Status of Women<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/comments\/top-un-secretary-general-candidate-stands-on-abortion-rights-until-birth\/\"><u>Top UN Secretary-General Candidate Stands on Abortion Rights Until Birth<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/international-law-does-not-guarantee-the-right-to-abortion-argentinas-new-voice-at-the-un-forum\/\"><u>\u201cInternational Law Does Not Guarantee the Right to Abortion\u201d: Argentina\u2019s NEW Voice at the UN Forum<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/ordo-iuris-joins-pro-life-coalition-at-69th-session-of-un-commission-on-status-of-women\/\"><u>Ordo Iuris Joins Pro-Life Coalition at 69th Session of UN Commission on Status of Women<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source of cover photo: iStock<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations (UN) Security Council has held the first secret straw poll among seven candidates to become the next UN Secretary-General.
