常任理事國反對 聯合國秘書長第6輪投票仍卡關

Quick Look

聯合國安理會針對第10任秘書長人選進行意向投票,現任秘書長古特瑞斯即將卸任。最新一輪投票中,7位候選人均遭常任理事國投下「不鼓勵」票,遴選程序陷入僵局,前景尚不明朗。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

聯合國秘書長任期為五年,可連任一次。安理會意向投票機制旨在透過鼓勵與不鼓勵票篩選候選人,最終需經五個常任理事國同意。

聯合國秘書長古特瑞斯(António Guterres)將在今年結束兩屆共10年任期職務。安全理事會16日進行意向投票,要在全球局勢動盪時期遴選出第10任秘書長。但在最新一輪投票中,檯面上的7位候選人皆遭到部分安理會常任理事國投下等同否決的「不鼓勵票」,前景尚不明朗。

安理會意向投票始於1980年代初期,為打破兩名候選人僵局而設立的機制。即便不時受到批評程序缺乏透明性仍延續至今。過程中,15個安理會成員國會對每位候選人投下「鼓勵」、「不鼓勵」和「無意見」任一選票。只要有候選人能夠獲得9票,且沒有受到英國、法國、中國、俄羅斯和美國任一常任理事國反對,便會將該人選提名至聯合國大會,由全體成員國確認。

前五輪投票中,最受認可的哥斯大黎加前副總統葛林斯潘(Rebeca Grynspan),在第六輪投票延續領先勢頭,取得9票鼓勵票。然而,包括葛林斯潘在內的前3順位候選人,票匭中皆有2張,首次以紅色區分常任理事國意向的「不鼓勵」票。其他4名候選人亦遭到部分常任理事國反對。
