UN Secretary-General candidates debate global crises and the future of the organisation

Candidates seeking to become the next UN Secretary-General have taken part in a public town hall at the United Nations headquarters in New York, addressing major global challenges including conflicts, the Strait of Hormuz crisis and questions over the organisation's effectiveness.

The candidates outlined their visions for restoring trust in the UN, while acknowledging criticism over its limited role in resolving major conflicts. The process now moves behind closed doors as the Security Council begins consultations to select the next UN leader.
