22 Ekim 2026France 24

The UAE has nominated Lana Nusseibeh for UN Secretary General, raising alarms over the country's human rights record.
The United Arab Emirates has nominated Lana Nusseibeh, its former envoy, for the position of UN Secretary General. Human rights advocates are raising concerns about this nomination, citing the UAE's poor human rights record and its alleged support for groups involved in a massacre in Sudan.
Critics warn that her election could have dire consequences for the UN's credibility and mission.
The United Nations has historically prioritized human rights in its agenda, and the potential election of Nusseibeh could challenge that narrative. The UAE's involvement in regional conflicts and its domestic policies have drawn international scrutiny, making this nomination particularly contentious.
The nomination of Lana Nusseibeh raises significant questions about the UN's commitment to human rights. If a candidate from a nation with a controversial human rights history is appointed, it could undermine the organization's foundational principles.
