UN Secretaries General Collection

 

Do you know all of them? They were/are UN Secretaries General. According to Wikipedia, the Secretary-General of the United Nations or sometimes abbreviated UNSYG, is the head of the United Nations Secretariat which is one of the principal organs of the United Nations. They also acts as the de facto spokesperson and leader of the United Nations. The Secretary-General was envisioned by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a “world moderator”, but the vague definition provided by the UN Charter left much room for interpretation by those who would later inhabit the position. According to the UN website, his roles are further defined as “diplomat and advocate, civil servant, and CEO”.
