Guyana’s Candidate for UN Secretary-General Says Reform Is Essential

Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues, Guyana’s candidate for United Nations secretary-general in 2027, has described reform of the organization as a necessity.

Rodrigues, who serves as Guyana’s permanent representative to the UN, made the remarks as a contender for its top leadership post.

Her statement places the need for institutional change at the center of her message about the organization’s future, rather than presenting reform as an optional step.

The brief remarks did not specify which parts of the UN she believes should be reformed or outline a timetable for changes.
