answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>We have actively campaigned to reform the selection process for a UN Secretary-General. We want greater transparency, a structured process and a gender diverse field. These efforts are designed to ensure we get the best person for the job. We do not subscribe to the notion of regional rotation, but are looking for a candidate with integrity, a proven track record, first class communication skills, suitable and relevant experience and unimpeachable character. They should be committed to transparency and accountability, have strong leadership skills, a bold vision for an activist UN at the heart of the rules-based system, and be committed to cost-effective management and reform.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/06/2016 14:47:21 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
