From the WTO to UNCTAD
What happens when a WTO DG's term ends?
The Kazakh Information Agency reports that the current DG, Supachai Panitchpakdi, will become head of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD): "Thai WTO chief appointed to head UNCTAD".
The Financial Times covers the story ("Supachai named to head Unctad"), and notes that Supachai is replacing Brazilian Rubens Ricupero. Ricupero ran unsuccessfully for WTO DG in 1994.
