Guyana's ambassador to the United Nations was nominated as a Secretary-General candidate this week, bringing the grand total of candidates to six as we enter the final stretch of the campaign before the first Security Council straw polls. Anjali knows Rodrigues-Birkett! They had lunch together not long ago, and in this episode of To Save Us From Hell she explains what Guyana's UN ambassador brings to this race. We also discuss what we learned from the three-hour General Assembly forum with another candidate, Maria Espinosa. Remember: We watch these marathon forums so you don't have to!

All those segments are for our paying subscribers only. But up first: we discuss the UN's role in the Iran ceasefire — and what this moment means for the UN's ability to mediate conflicts around the world.
