@augustinasiman definitely not. Just approximately 20.73% of Ambassadors to #UN are women.

[Michael Imran Kanu, SJD @MichaelKanuSL]

Pleased to have, together with the President of the @UN General Assembly, H.E. Annalena Baerbock (@UN_PGA), signed the joint letter launching the process to select the next UN Secretary-General, another important milestone of Sierra Leone’s Security Council November presidency.

Negotiations in the Security Council were led by the Russian Federation on behalf of the P5 and by Denmark on behalf of the E10. I thank them, and all Council members, for the constructive engagement that enabled the early signing of the letter.
