Rafael Grossi, who assumed office as the Agency’s sixth Director General on 3 December 2019, and was re-appointed to serve a second four-year term in 2023. He previously served as Ambassador of Argentina to Austria and Argentine Representative to the IAEA.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' mandate expires in 2026, and the selection process for his successor is set to start at the end of the year.
However, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi is already “seriously considering” running for the position, according to La Nacion.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has repeatedly criticized Rafael Grossi for turning a blind eye to clear evidence of Ukraine’s provocative attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant that pose a direct threat to nuclear security.
Russia also noted his reluctance to address the dangers of depleted uranium after the US and the UK supplied Ukraine with the toxic munitions.
