ON July 30, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) took the first step in the selection process for the 10th UN Secretary-General (SG). Following the tradition that began in 1981, the council held the first round of informal 'straw polls' to gauge the viability of each of the current seven candidates -- Michelle Bachelet Jeria, María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, Rafael Mariano Grossi, Rebeca Grynspan Mayufis, Olara Otunnu, Carolyn Rodrigues Birkett and Macky Sall.
