The UN Secretary-General Selection and Appointment Process: Emerging from the Shadows
4 April 2017
Security Council Report has published a research report on the appointment of the Secretary-General.
Security Council Report published its first report anticipating this selection and appointment process—
Appointing the UN Secretary-General—
in October 2015, setting out the history of the process and procedure, and describing previous proposals for change. Our second report—Appointing the UN Secretary-General: The Challenge for the Security Council—examined the major developments from October 2015 to June 2016.
Throughout the process, we recorded the developments in SCR’s regular publications, the Monthly Forecast and What’s in Blue.
This final report provides a comprehensive account of developments in the Security Council and General Assembly from the beginning to the end of the process, describing the major changes that culminated in the choice of António Guterres as the next Secretary-General.
It includes an assessment of the process based on interviews with the key actors from the Council, the General Assembly and civil society, as well as observations and options for improving the process further.
