UN chief candidates debate reform, Strait of Hormuz and Security Council deadlock

Six candidates vying to become the next United Nations Secretary-General participated in a televised debate, addressing challenges such as reform, the Strait of Hormuz situation, and the Security Council's effectiveness. The discussion covered issues including Gaza, artificial intelligence, climate change, and institutional reform. Candidates emphasized different approaches to leadership, with some focusing on moral authority and others on diplomatic engagement and practical problem-solving. The debate occurred ahead of a Security Council 'straw poll' to narrow the field for the successor to Antonio Guterres. While all acknowledged the need for significant reforms, they diverged on strategies for enhancing the UN's effectiveness amid growing geopolitical tensions.
