Il devient ainsi le candidat le plus \u00e2g\u00e9 parmi ceux qui ambitionnent de prendre la direction de l\u2019organisation internationale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La future direction de l\u2019ONU devra notamment faire face \u00e0 plusieurs d\u00e9fis, notamment les conflits arm\u00e9s, les tensions g\u00e9opolitiques croissantes et les appels \u00e0 une r\u00e9forme du fonctionnement de l\u2019organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
