Avaaz petition urges blocking UAE official's UN Secretary-General bid

A campaign group petition is calling on UN member states to block Lana Nusseibeh's candidacy for UN Secretary-General, arguing the UAE is implicated in atrocities in Sudan's Darfur region. Nusseibeh is the UAE's senior diplomat at the UN and a leading contender for the top job. Critics say her appointment would undermine the organisation's credibility while Abu Dhabi faces accusations over its role in the Sudan war.
Why now: The UN Secretary-General selection process is under way, and campaigners are seizing the moment to challenge the UAE candidate over Darfur allegations
