联合国秘书长角逐：哥斯达黎加前副总统格林斯潘以11票扩大领先
路透社10月30日报道，联合国安理会当天举行的意向投票显示，哥斯达黎加前副总统丽贝卡·格林斯潘（Rebeca Grynspan）以11票支持、4票反对扩大领先优势，成为接替古特雷斯出任第十任联合国秘书长的领跑者。两位了解进程的人士透露了这一结果。
这是近几个月来七轮闭门意向投票中格林斯潘得票最强的一次。现任秘书长古特雷斯的第二个五年任期将于今年结束。
阿根廷人、国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·格罗西（Rafael Grossi）以9票居第二，圭亚那驻联合国大使卡罗琳·罗德里格斯-伯基特（Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett）以8票居第三；首次参选的阿联酋外交官拉娜·努塞贝（Lana Nusseibeh）获7票支持、6票反对、2票无意见，列第四。
安理会正式推荐人选需要至少9票支持、且五大常任理事国无一投反对票；周五的投票没有显示五个常任理事国各自的投票情况。联合国80多年历史上还从未有过女性秘书长。70岁的格林斯潘是经济学家，她本月对路透社说，联合国已变得过于规避风险，下一任领导人必须准备好承受外交失败的代价、然后再试。
Race for UN Chief: Costa Rica's Grynspan Extends Lead With 11 Votes in Straw Poll
An informal straw poll by the UN Security Council on October 30 showed former Costa Rican Vice President Rebeca Grynspan extending her lead in the race to become the 10th UN secretary-general, with 11 votes in favour and 4 against, two people close to the process told Reuters.
It was Grynspan's strongest showing in seven closed-door ballots in recent months to choose a successor to António Guterres, who finishes his second five-year term this year.
Argentina's Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came second with nine votes, and Guyana's UN ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett was third with eight. Lana Nusseibeh of the United Arab Emirates, in her first poll, came fourth with seven in favour, six against and two marked no opinion.
A formal recommendation requires at least nine positive votes and no discourage votes from the five permanent members, whose individual votes were not shown on Friday. In the UN's more than 80-year history there has never been a female secretary-general. Grynspan, a 70-year-old economist, told Reuters this month that the UN has become too risk-averse and its next leader must be prepared to bear the cost of diplomatic failure and try again.
