Ambassador Dhanapala is Sri Lanka’s officially declared candidate for the top UN job of Secretary-General of the United Nations. The first secretary-general Trygve Lie described it as the most impossible job on earth. After the war on Iraq and the oil for food scandal, and recent capping of its funds, the UN is in need of urgent and radical reforms for its survival. Dhanapala has what it takes to bring lasting reforms to the world body in the 21st century.
