I can't remeber who posted it, but they said that the Secretary General of the UN can't be from a country that is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. I hope that's correct because that leaves ol' Bubba Bill out in the cold.
Many of us have asked for proof of such claims. None, that I know of, has yet been given.
Read for yourself and see if you can find anything...
Charter of the United Nations

2. Such subsidiary organs as may be found necessary may be established in accordance with the present Charter.
Article 8
The United Nations shall place no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and subsidiary organs.

I wish now that I had asked the poster where he/she got that information. If I have time later on tonight I'll do some more searching. This is all I've found so far:

How is the Secretary-General appointed?

The Secretary-General is appointed by the General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Security Council. The Secretary-General's selection is therefore subject to the veto of any of the five permanent members of the Security Council.

Mr. Kofi Annan, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, took office on 1 January 1997.

Although there is technically no limit to [the] number of five-year terms a Secretary-General may serve, none so far has held office for more than two terms.

Glad to see you, 5. I thought of you when I came across something, or some idea, about the eugenics movement that I thought would interest you.

Now I can't think what it was :-) When it comes back, I'll holler.

I guess if I was indirectly responsible for the export of AIDs/Hep C prison blood around the world that may have infected over 75000 hemophiliacs around the world I'd have a guilty conscience too!
