IAEA receives names of new nominees for ElBaradei's job
2009-04-11
The 35-member board will hold a meeting to look into the list of the candidates for the senior post in the first half of May.
The International Atomic Eneregy Agency has received nomination applications from Slovenia and Malaysia for the post of the IAEA director general, Mohammad Al-Baradei, whose term is due to expire next fall. The 35-member board will hold a meeting to look into the list of the candidates for the senior post in the first half of May.

Official sources at the IAEA headquarters told KUNA on Friday that the former envoy of Slovenia at the international agency, Ernst Petrich, 72, who had also headed the IAEA board between 2006 and 2007, was one of the nominees for the senior post.

Malaysia for its part had filed candidacy papers for the head of its nuclear authority, Noori Amli, the sources said, adding that the chaiperson of the IAEA Board of Governors, Tawoos Faroukhi, of Algeria, had received names of other candidates from the Argentines, Mexico, Spain and Hungary.

The candidates of South Africa and Japan failed, at an extraordinary session of the board in the end last month, in securing two thirds of the votes to occupy the post.
