阿联酋外交国务部长 Nusseibeh 宣布参选联合国秘书长：若当选将成首位女性秘书长
据路透社10月21日独家报道，阿联酋资深外交官 Lana Nusseibeh 当天宣布参选下一任联合国秘书长，为这场在安理会五大常任理事国之间难以形成共识的角逐注入一位备受瞩目的中东候选人。Nusseibeh 曾任阿联酋常驻联合国代表十余年，现任阿联酋外交国务部长。她对路透社表示，她将致力于恢复联合国作为外交问题解决者的角色：「很明显，今天我们需要一位能重新致力于多边主义未来、让联合国成为解决问题者而不是世界危机旁观者的秘书长。」
现年48岁的 Nusseibeh 是较晚加入角逐的候选人。她表示，在上届联合国大会期间，多个国家主动邀她参选；她此前曾领导阿联酋成功竞选安理会席位。据消息人士，此前安理会非正式意向投票中，前哥斯达黎加上副总统 Rebeca Grynspan 以微弱优势领先，但上周她与所有其他候选人都收到来自五常中两票以上的反对。安理会成员正在商讨是本周五举行新一轮投票还是推迟。
Nusseibeh 任职联合国期间正值2023年加沙战争爆发，她推动通过了为运送人道援助铺路的第2720号决议。她还表示自己获得了「代际变革」的认可。若当选，她将成为继埃及的 Boutros Boutros-Ghali 之后第二位来自中东的联合国秘书长，也将成为联合国历史上首位女性秘书长，不过她表示自己参选不是因为性别。（据路透社10月21日独家报道整理）
UAE Minister of State Lana Nusseibeh Enters Race for UN Secretary-General
Senior UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh entered the race to become the next United Nations secretary-general on Wednesday, October 21, Reuters reported exclusively, injecting a prominent Middle Eastern candidate into a contest that has struggled to produce a consensus choice among the Security Council's most powerful members. Nusseibeh, a former UAE ambassador to the UN for more than a decade and now the UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, told Reuters she would seek to restore the world body's role as a diplomatic problem-solver at a time of mounting global crises. 'It's clear that today we need a secretary-general that can recommit to the future of multilateralism and the future of the United Nations as a problem-solver rather than as a spectator to the world's crises,' she said shortly before going public with her candidacy.
Nusseibeh, 48, is a late entrant to the race. She said she was approached by multiple countries during the last UN General Assembly to put herself forward, and she previously led the UAE's successful campaign for election to the Security Council. An informal Security Council poll had placed former Costa Rican Vice President Rebeca Grynspan as the narrow frontrunner, sources have said, but last week she and all other candidates received two or more opposing votes from the five permanent members. Council members are negotiating over whether to hold another poll this Friday or at a later stage.
Her UN tenure overlapped with the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023, when she secured the adoption of Resolution 2720 paving the way for the delivery of humanitarian aid, arranging a visit by council members to the Rafah border crossing. A Nusseibeh victory would make her the second UN chief from the Middle East, after Egypt's Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and the first woman to lead the UN, though she said she was not running on her gender: 'I'm running because I am stubbornly optimistic about the future of the United Nations.'
