U S vetoes Boutros-Ghali for U N security post
The United States vetoed Boutros Boutros-Ghali for a second U N term in a rare Security Council move. African states urged a change and African nominees were discussed as possible successors to avoid a deadlock. Boutros-Ghali remained a candidate under U N rules, while Washington pressed for an African alternative and U S debts to the U N influenced the stance.
