The Portuguese Ant\u00f3nio Vitorino was elected director-general for International Organization for Migration (IOM).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ant\u00f3nio Vitorino was elected by acclamation for a five years mandate, defeating on the fouth round the Costa-Rican Laura Thompson, vice-director-general of IOM<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

On the third round the third candidate was moved away, Ken Isaacs (USA), interrupting the successive election of a North-American for that position on the last half century.<\/p>\n

The election of Ant\u00f3nio Vitorino occurs a year and a half after the Ant\u00f3nio Guterres taking charge as secretary-general of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnt\u00f3nio Vitorino’s election increases our international visibility” and at a time when “migrations are on the spotlight”, the new director-general of IOM “can give a really important contribution for the resolution of this problem”, stated the ambassador Martins da Cruz, former minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal.<\/p>\n

Ant\u00f3nio Vitorino will take charge on October 1, when the five years second mandate of the current director-general, William Lacy Swing, finishes.<\/p>\n
