The United Nations member now has a chance to question the candidates for secret

For the first time in history of the United Nations all member states will get a chance to question the candidates for secretary-general to hopefully make what used to be a secret selection process for the world's top diplomatic post more transparent. The eight hopefuls for one of the world's most high-profile jobs will also hold town hall meetings with the UN General Assembly in New York where they will each pitch their credentials and then answer questions in a two-hour session. This move comes as a response from the General Assembly when member states demanded that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's successor be chosen in a more open process.
