The Secretary-General of the United Nations is appointed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council. Therefore, the veto power can be used to block the selection of a Secretary-General.

Prior to his election as Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. Here is the biography of the 267th Bishop of Rome.
„Peace be with all of you!“ – the first words of Pope Leo XIV. The Conclave has elected Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost as the 267th Bishop of Rome. The new pope was announced to the waiting crowds by Cardinal Protodeacon Dominique Mamberti.
During his pontificate, Francis overhauled the composition of the body that will elect his successor, making it more representative of the worldwide church.
He threw out the old, unwritten rulebook that bishops of certain dioceses (several of them in Italy) would automatically be made cardinals and instead gave red hats to bishops in parts of the world that had never had them before, such as Tonga, Haiti and Papua New Guinea. Several of them are âoutsidersâ to the Roman system, so it makes it harder to predict how they will vote.
I donât know who the cardinals will pick to replace him, but I do know with absolute certainty that there are transnational intelligence operations in the works to make sure they select a more reliable supporter of Israel.
I am also requesting nominations for the positions of Chief of Naval Operations and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff.

He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family.
Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan âRazinâ Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Trump announced he was dismissing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles Q. Brown and replacing him with Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan âRazinâ Caine â an extraordinary move since Caine is retired, according to an Air Force official, and is not a four-star general.
The statement did not mention who would succeed Nasrallah or how the group would respond to the assassination of its long-time leader.
