00:00The front-runner for the Secretary-General for the United Nations says she will modernise the organisation to adapt changes
00:06in the world we live in.
00:08Rebecca Grinspan currently serves as Secretary-General for UN Trade and Development.
00:13Conflicts in the world are going up. Trust between the countries, but also in the multilateral system, is going down.
00:23And time is running out. So this is a moment in which we have to race to the challenge to
00:32bring cooperation, solidarity, the principles of the UN Charter again into the centre of the agenda.
00:42When asked why she wants to lead, she says reformation for the UN is about survival, not criticism.
00:48I am a generation that has lived in peace. I have never experienced war directly.
00:55But millions of people in the world today live in war zones, in conflict.
01:02And that's why I'm running, because I know the difference.
01:06What is the role of the UN in Europe and the US?
01:09The role of the UN is to open the space for us to agree on things that are important for
01:16millions of people in the world.
01:17We don't have to agree on everything to agree on something that is important for us.
01:23I believe, again, that the UN has the unique legitimacy of universality.
01:31That's something that nobody can take away from the UN.
01:35All the countries are represented in the UN and have a voice in the UN.
01:40So let's use that legitimacy.
01:44Currently, Secretary General Antonio Guterres will end his term on the 31st of December, 2026.
01:50And in the meantime, Greenspan will be continuing her campaign for change.
