Campaign Update 🇺🇳 | The UN's nominations for Secretary-General are in, on April Fool's Day.

April 01, 2026

Dear friends, On April 1st, the UN’s biggest joke just took a new turn. You may remember that the UN - which is supposed to ensure our basic rights - chooses its chief in a process that would make the maddest dictator ashamed. In...

Two years ago, I announced my UN campaign. Here's a personal reflection of this journey.

March 31, 2026

Dear friends, Two years ago today, I announced I was running for UN Secretary General. Not because I could win, nor because it was a great opportunity. To be honest, it was and remains a pretty bad one: I spend my days seeking to...

Campaign Update 🇺🇳 | In the midst of the madness, don't forget the UN is choosing its next Chief. Your next leader.

January 21, 2026

Dear friends, Where to start? Trump and his war on anyone not bending to his will while pursuing a colonial and imperialist agenda? The fact that the United Nations and other intergovernmental institutions are clearly failing to respond, and being dismantled both by their...

Campaign Update 🇺🇳 | 2025 was heartbreaking. 2026 must be different!

January 02, 2026

Dear friends, As 2025 comes to a close, let us reflect on this year that has been characterized by political heartbreaks and failures for so many, and find ways to choose action and determination in 2026! I don’t want to interrupt your holidays with...

Campaign Update 🇺🇳 | The next UN chief is about to be chosen. Let’s break the process

November 27, 2025

Dear friends, The UN officially kickstarted the selection process of its next Secretary General, and it is as undemocratic, opaque and broken as ever. While it fails to stop the genocide in Gaza, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Sudan’s famine, the climate crisis and rising...

Campaign Update 🇺🇳 | We just filed a complaint against the United Nations

October 24, 2025

Dear friends, Today, on the UN’s 80th anniversary, we filed a formal complaint against the United Nations, showing that the United Nations Secretary-General is chosen in a broken and undemocratic process, more opaque than presidential elections in China and Russia! We did this not...

Too Young, Unqualified and Radical: Why I’m Running to Lead the United Nations

October 09, 2025

“Stop fixating on Gaza and Ukraine, the United Nations is doing great. You shouldn’t criticize it,” one of the highest UN officials told me back in March 2024. I just announced my campaign, surrounded by top diplomats in a marble-covered room at the UN...

Speech at Arendalsuka | Europe’s only chance at remaining relevant and resilient is to act based on values!

August 18, 2025

Last week, I was invited to speak at #Arendalsuka in Norway, and I said what too many refuse to: 👉 Europe is declining not only economically, but morally👉 Norway’s oil fund was the largest European investor in Israel’s occupation👉 We brand ourselves as green,...

Campaign Update 🇺🇳 | If the UN Worked, Gaza Would Be Safe.

July 28, 2025

There are no words. Gaza is out of food, because Israel is deliberately starving Palestinians. Mass deaths are about to happen and our countries are complicit in this genocide diplomatically, politically and/or militarily. So take action. Protest. Agitate. Post. Do anything you can: take...

EuroPCom 2025 | Seeking trust when institutions preach values but enable injustice

July 10, 2025

Last week, I spoke at EuroPCom, the European Union’s annual gathering of public communicators. I was asked to speak about trust. So I did. But not the kind written into branding manuals or delivered through polished messaging. I spoke about the kind that is...
