finding the best possible candidate to succeed Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is absolutely crucial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In line with General Assembly resolution 69\/321, and pursuant to a letter dated 15 December 2015 from the President of the Security Council and I, the following 8 candidates have been presented, namely:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Srgjan Kerim, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Vesna Pusi\u0107, Republic of Croatia;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Igor Luk\u0161i\u0107, Montenegro;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Danilo T\u00fcrk, Slovenia;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Irina Bokova, Bulgaria;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Natalia Gherman, Republic of Moldova;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Antonio Guterres, Portugal;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Helen Clark, New Zealand;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These informal dialogues will be held in accordance with established practice for informal meetings of the General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The meetings will be open and webcast with interpretation in all languages and I welcome all those watching from around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A link to each webcast will be posted on my web page for future record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As reflected in the schedule circulated in my letter dated 29 March 2016, each candidate will be afforded a two-hour meeting slot during which they will be invited to present their vision statement followed by questions from member states and civil society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The vision statements address the challenges and opportunities facing the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and the next Secretary-<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">General, and have been circulated to all member states in advance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Candidates will be given the opportunity to respond to Member States&#8217; interventions at regular intervals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Delegations wishing to take the floor can do so by pressing the button on the console before them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I encourage Member States to pose questions in a short and focused manner, and in doing so to bear in mind questions already posed by others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Equally, I \u00a0urge candidates to restrict themselves and to be brief and precise in their answers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Member States speaking on behalf of groups are invited to approach the list of speakers table and will be given priority.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I would like to appeal to representatives to limit their interventions to three minutes when speaking on behalf of a group and to two minutes when speaking in a national capacity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To assist speakers in this regard, a light mechanism has been installed on the podium to facilitate compliance with the time limit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A green light will be activated at the start of each speaker\u2019s question; an orange light will be activated 30 seconds before the end of 3 minutes for questions on behalf of the group, and 2 minutes for questions in national capacity; a red light will be activated when the 2 or 3 minute limit has elapsed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I intend to enforce the time limit strictly, in the interest of ensuring equal opportunity and balanced approach for participation of all candidates as well as Members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Excellencies, the level of interest in these dialogues from the global public and civil society is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On February 26, we opened a call for civil society to submit questions. More than 1000 questions have been submitted from 70 countries so far, thanks to efforts from the Non-governmental Liaison Service and across the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ system globally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Questions have been proposed using the hashtag #Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵSGcandidates on Twitter and Facebook, via Weibo [way-bwa] in China, and through an online form and email \u2013 reaching more than 78million people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A dedicated and balanced civil society Committee reviewed all questions submitted and agreed a short-list of 30 of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Bearing this in mind, and for the purpose of transparency and inclusivity, each candidate will be asked to respond to one or two questions from Civil Society, time permitting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I will also post 10 of the top remaining questions on my web site after the dialogues and I encourage each candidate to answer them in writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Excellencies, distinguished candidates, ladies and gentlemen, as I have said before, I view these dialogues as a potential game-changer for the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They represent an opportunity for the General Assembly to reassert itself; to establish a new standard for transparency and inclusivity in decisive Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ processes; and, most importantly, to help secure the best possible candidate to be our next Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Secretary-General.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With that, we will now begin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I give the floor to His Excellency Igor Luk\u0161i\u0107 to present his vision statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"woo-sc-divider\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening remarks by the President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly, H.E.\u00a0Mogens Lykketoft, at informal dialogues with candidates for the position of the United Nations Secretary-General 12 April 2016 \u00a0 \u00a0 &nbsp; Excellencies, distinguished candidates, ladies and gentleman, this is a historic moment.
