UN Headquarters in New York
The race to succeed António Guterres as head of the United Nations (UN) is entering a decisive phase. While former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s name also briefly sparked discussion, a tough battle is taking shape within the UN Security Council over an established international official: Rebeca Grynspan is considered the frontrunner, but her agenda has sparked fierce controversy.
Although a considerable number of UN member states support the candidacy of the 70-year-old economist from Costa Rica, her appointment is far from certain. Grynspan, currently Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), would become the first Jewish Secretary-General in the history of the world organization if elected.
Costa Rica has officially presented my candidacy for @UN Secretary-General.
I want to thank the President, government and people of Costa Rica
for their trust & support.
I’ll work tirelessly to honour that trust and chart the course for a reformed UN. https://t.co/eo4miA9coe https://t.co/kKHBloLqrJ

for their trust & support.Nevertheless, the process has reached an impasse. Two members of the UN Security Council are blocking her nomination, with observers suspecting that the United States is behind one of the objections. Since the five permanent members (the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom) hold veto power, a single major power’s objection is enough to bring the entire process to a halt. Even after several rounds of informal voting, the situation remains unclear. Although the number of opposing countries has recently decreased, no agreement appears to be in sight.
In terms of policy, Grynspan embodies the approach that critics describe as a migration-friendly, globalist agenda pursued by multilateral institutions.
- Migration policy: Grynspan has long publicly maintained that migration should not be viewed solely as a crisis or security issue, but rather as a structural reality and an economic opportunity. She advocates multilateral management and regional cooperation, positions that have met with strong opposition from conservative and nation-state-oriented circles.
- Feminist advocacy: Throughout her international career, including her time at the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Grynspan has positioned herself as a strong advocate of gender quotas, targeted gender programs, and institutional measures to promote women within the UN system.
- Position on the war in Ukraine: Despite diplomatic efforts to facilitate grain exports and engage with representatives of both sides in the conflict, Grynspan aligns herself with the Western narrative emphasizing Ukraine’s sovereignty and international law. At the same time, she has also faced criticism from Kyiv after meetings with senior Russian officials during international negotiations sparked controversy.
While conservative observers floated Viktor Orbán as a fundamental alternative to the UN’s current course, his name has not featured in the actual diplomatic nomination process.
I welcomed the opportunity for a thoughtful and substantive exchange with @EUatUN. We discussed my vision for a stronger, more effective United Nations and how it can better meet the needs of all Member States.
I look forward to continuing our dialogue and working together toward a UN that delivers for all.

A more serious challenge to Grynspan, however, is emerging from an entirely different direction: Lana Nusseibeh, the former UN ambassador of the United Arab Emirates. According to an article in The Telegraph, Nusseibeh could be an ideal compromise candidate for the deadlocked Security Council:
- Middle East expertise: The diplomat, who has Palestinian roots, studied Israel and Diaspora Studies in London and speaks fluent Arabic, Hebrew, English, and French.
- A strategic bridge-builder: Nusseibeh strongly condemned Hamas’s attacks on October 7, 2023, defended the Abraham Accords and is regarded as a supporter of Israel’s integration into the Arab world. At the same time, she criticized Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip, seeking to maintain a diplomatic balance between the opposing sides.
The power struggle exposes deep divisions within the United Nations. Outgoing Secretary-General António Guterres is increasingly accused of having weakened the organization through one-sided policy priorities, while crises in Sudan, Yemen, and Ukraine have remained largely unresolved.
Whether Rebeca Grynspan, a representative of the globalist approach, will prevail, or whether the Security Council will turn to a diplomatic alternative such as Lana Nusseibeh in the shadow of a veto by a major power remains to be seen. For now, one thing is clear: a radical shift towards national-conservative principles at the helm of the UN Secretariat is not on the horizon.
