The #UNSG race process is the ultimate illusion of global democracy. In reality, it鈥檚 just a high stakes poker game played behind closed doors by the 1945 order. The rest of the world can speculate all they want, but no white smoke appears until the P5 find a perfect consensus

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Amb.Abdul Ghafoor Ravan Farhadi Son of Afghanistan, whom I knew briefly in New York in 2006 when I was a junior diplomat. A seasoned diplomat who easily built networks for the benefit of his country and a better world. RIP!
