As no doubt you have seen, Ban Ki Moon officially put himself in the running for Secretary General. On Al Jazeera English last night, I discussed why I think Ban deserves another five years at the helm of the UN.
Ban Ki Moon is officially a candidate to be Secretary General. So far, there are no other candidates to challenge Ban and no veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council has indicated any serious objections. It is almost assured than Ban will win a second five year term. But does he deserve it?
At a meeting on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Lisbon, Ban Ki Moon fielded a question about whether or not NATO countries might intervene in South Sudan if things turned for the worse.
