The five year term for UN General Secretary will run through 2016.
Moon,
in his second term as Chief of the United Nations, wants to help people
who rose up in the Arab Spring attain and sustain freedom and
democracy.
During
his first five years at the U.N.’s helm, Ban has won plaudits for
helping to raise climate change close to the top of the global agenda,
for creating a new agency, UN Women, to focus on the fight for gender
equality, and for keeping a spotlight on nuclear disarmament and nuclear
security.
UN
Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, who starts his second term on New Year’s
Day said he wants to help ensure and sustain the moves towards
democracy that protesters sought in the Arab Spring.
