            Of course, I am not aware of the work of the UN mechanisms, but I think everything will be as before. After all, the UN Secretary General is not the Secretary General of the CPSU. The figure is not decisive. At the UN, everything is determined by the ability of the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council to come to a compromise.

              In the Charter, the Secretary-General is referred to as “Chief administrative official "of the Organization, which acts in this capacity and performs" such other functions as are assigned "to him Security Council, By the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and other United Nations bodies.

              The Charter also authorizes the Secretary-General to “bring to the attention of the Security Council any questions that, in his opinion, may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.” These provisions determine the powers of the person holding this position, at the same time provide him with ample opportunities for activity. The Secretary-General would not be able to fulfill his responsibilities if he did not take into account the interests of Member States, but he must also uphold the values ​​and moral authority of the United Nations and act and act in defense of peace, even at times risking disputing the opinions of these Member States or disagreeing with them.

      I can’t say anything about the Portuguese, except that once, being in charge of refugees, I got involved in Tskhinval, Abkhazia and Georgia, but I don’t remember much Russophobic from him!

      And I would not categorically declare that the UN completely discredited itself, as the League of the Nation used to be - the format of its construction is a little different, but the number of subpins .. now there is very large! After all, when the Organization was created, it was based on the parity platform of the social camp and the Anglo-Saxon camp, and now this balance is upset, so it’s hard enough for us to defend our positions in the pack of horses. They divorced after the 91st year as dogs were not cut - after all, all the socialist camp countries fell under the Anglo-Saxons and they were joined by beggars from the former Soviet republics, such as Ukraine, which would sell their mother for cookies of the State Department, and not that of the Slav brothers!

But the UN leadership of 99,9% begins to sing to the tune made in Washington, even those people with neutral views often occupied anti-Russian politics. The current chapter is an example.

I am only saying that he is not Russophobe from birth, like our Polish, Swedish and others (landed in imperial aspirations), German, French, Turkish and others - who received Lyule more than once, the Baltic states and others like them, which were part of our structure and not having statehood, complexing - a miracle of the nation! But brazenly Saxons, in general, a separate story. Therefore, it is not known what Secretary General he will be, but definitely better than all of the above!

          But let's not forget that Portugal is the last colonial empire in Europe, which, having abandoned all colonies in the 70s and 80s, turned into an ordinary country that is remembered only when the last name is called - Ronaldo! And this uncle still remembers the movement of the colonial troops under the Portuguese flag around the world, although he also remembers the "Revolution of Carnations" which buried the last colonial empire!

        The main quality for the UN Secretary General should be supranational interests.
        It doesn’t work out in any way! Remember Ban Ki-moon, because it was Russia that promised the next Secretary General to become an Asian and kept her word when confronted with the Americans and the support group. But he turned out to be a double bottom ................
