BAN KI MOON SECOND AND LAST TERM...FAO (DG)..??

Within the next few days the post of the 8^th, DG for FAO (UN) will be put to the vote in by more than 180 countries. Since the establishment of FAO in October 1945, the years that the recumbent DG remained in office changed and in the last three decades it reached two digit figures. We are all hoping that the new DG will stick to the rules ,as the SE of the UN did, and stay in office for less than 10 years
