I was thinking the secretary general of the UN couldn't be from a permanent member of the Security Council. Not 100% sure, though.

I believe that you are correct.

It's not against the rules of the UN - but it was a gentlemen's agreement that no one from the 5 permanent members would preside as Secretary General.

However, since Clinton is no "gentleman" - all bets are off.
