UN chief hopeful Nusseibeh criticized over Sudan remarks

Original: Human rights monitors are criticizing United Arab Emirates diplomat Lana Nusseibeh's candidacy to be the next U.N. chief

Human rights monitors are criticizing UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh's candidacy to become the next United Nations secretary-general. Critics point to her denial of the Emirates' role in fueling the conflict in Sudan, where the war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces has been fueled by external arms and gold trading. Campaigners argue her stance raises questions about her credibility to lead the world body.

Why now: Selection of the next UN secretary-general is underway and rights groups are challenging a leading candidate's record on Sudan.
