Description
The UN culture agency's executive board votes to appoint a former Egyptian minister as the agency's next chief, the board's chair says, as UNESCO grapples with accusations of bias and the United States' withdrawal from the organisation.
UNESCO's board backs former Egyptian antiquities and tourism minister Khaled el-Enany to replace outgoing French director-general Audrey Azoulay, after she served two four-year terms in office.
The organisation's general assembly must now ratify the 54-year-old Egyptologist's appointment during its meeting in Uzbekistan on November 6.
The body has never gone against a recommendation by the executive board, which is made up of 58 out of 194 member states. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
