In the year that will see the end of Kofi Anna's mandate, this article seeks to give some perspective to the role of the UN Secretary General taking into account both the power structure of the Organization & international context rapidly changing. Firstly, the usual mechanisms of selection of the S-G are examined, & some thought is given to the different ways in which the issue has been addressed by the great powers, in particular by the U.S.A. The author also reviews the potential candidates being discussed in the corridors of world diplomacy & presents some hypotheses as to what can be expected from Kofi Annan's successor.
