Youth Leadership Opportunities in Australia and at the United Nations (UN)
As expected, news has been very slow indeed over the Christmas season. The biggest development has been new UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s surprise appointment of Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, Tanzania’s Foreign Minister, as his Deputy. Dr. Migiro’s had not been named in lists of speculated candidates, which had included a number of other women from developing nations.
As always, UNSG.org has excellent coverage of the developments.
