This is something that I have rarely, if ever, seen come up in latter 20th century TLs. Who would be likely alternate candidates for UN Secretary General?

Two people I've found while browsing Wikipedia is Carlos Romulo of the Philippines and Lester Pearson of Canada.

An interesting aspect to this would also be if the restriction that the Secretary General cannot come from the five permanent Security Council members. Then you could have people like Henry Kissinger or Vyacheslav Molotov as potential candidates.
