Madame, Sir, 

 

M. Kofi Annan's mandate as Secretary General to the United Nations is coming to
an end in December 2006. Candidates are already beginning to emerge.   

According to the regional rule, it is time for an Asian candidate to take over
the responsibilities of this task. However, nothing is definite and the debates
are only just beginning.  

Women represent more than half of the world population. They are becoming
increasingly involved in international affairs and many form the futures of
their countries. Why shouldn't one be nominated to the head of the UN?  

Choosing a woman as Secretary General of the UN would be a symbol of this
organization's support for women's rights and would send an important message to
the world.   

The role of Secretary General to the UN is essential in guaranteeing peace and
globalisation of a more humane nature. Naming a woman to this post as Secretary
General would help to shape the 21st Century into one of modernity and respect.


A global initiative was launched by the association Femmes Débat & Société to
promote this issue. A website is available in three languages (

days.
