AMY POPE ELECTED AS FIRST WOMAN DIRECTOR FOR UN MIGRATION AGENCY


AMERICAN AMY POPE HAS BEEN ELECTED THE NEXT DIRECTOR GENERAL FOR THE U.N.
MIGRATION AGENCY

International Organization for Migration (OIM) deputy director general Amy Pope
of the US who is candidate for the IOM director general position gestures during
an interview with AFP in Geneva, on March 13, 2023.

Member countries of the U.N. migration agency on Monday elected Amy Pope of the
United States as its next director general.

Pope elbowed aside her boss, Antonio Vitorino of Portugal, to get the job of
International Organization for Migration director general and will become the
first woman to head the Geneva-based agency that was founded in 1951.

Pope currently serves as Vitorino's deputy and ran against him for the job. She
will start her five-year term on Oct. 1, the IOM said in a statement.

The face-off was unusual in that Pope was looking to unseat her boss in a
contest between allies: The United States and Portugal are fellow NATO members.

The U.S. government, which strongly supported Pope's candidacy, welcomed the
news.

“Ms. Pope’s election reflects a broad endorsement by member states of her vision
to keep people at the heart of IOM’s mission, while implementing key governance
and budget reforms to ensure IOM is prepared to meet the challenges it faces,”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

Eight of the 10 IOM directors general since the agency was founded 72 years ago
have been American.

Vitorino, a former Portuguese government minister, swept into the job in 2018
after IOM member countries rebuffed a candidate put up by the Trump
administration, which pulled the U.S. out of the U.N.’s main human rights body,
shunned globalism and espoused an “America First” policy that rankled many.

IOM has nearly 19,000 staff members in 171 countries who provide migrants with
food, water, shelter and paperwork help, and responds to mass migration crises
in places as diverse as the U.S.-Mexico border, the central Mediterranean,
Bangladesh, Ukraine, and Sudan.
