Human Rights Critics Question Emirati Lana Nusseibeh's UN Secretary-General Bid Over Sudan War

The candidacy of Emirati diplomat Lana Nusseibeh for the position of UN Secretary-General has sparked criticism from Sudanese human rights advocates and activists, citing her role in defending Abu Dhabi’s foreign policy and denying the UAE’s involvement in fueling the war in Sudan. In response, Nusseibeh pledged on Tuesday to make Sudan a top priority if she assumes the position, while supporting accountability efforts and a ceasefire.
