The race to lead World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is on. On 24 July 2025, Member States will receive a formal invitation to nominate candidates for the next Director General. The deadline: 24 October 2025. No candidates have been announced yet. #UNLeadership #UN80 #WIPO

Singapore 🇸🇬 has not said whether it will re-nominate Daren Tang for a 2nd term as World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Director General. His tenure has been marred by corruption reports & misconduct allegations. Some suggest Singapore is focusing on @RenaLee_ICJ’s ICJ candidacy instead. #UN80 #WIPO

WIPO needs credible, competent leadership committed to transparency and anti-corruption. Member States have until 24 October 2025 to nominate candidates for the next World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Director General. More to come. wipo.int/edocs/mdocs/go… #UN80 #WIPO

We understand at least 3 serious complaints of corruption and misconduct were filed against World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) DG Daren Tang over the past year. Yet WIPO’s oversight body (IAOC) said nothing at this week’s General Assembly. These allegations must be addressed — not buried. #WIPO #UN80

Is World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) DG Daren Tang under investigation? If so, Member States should be informed and demand action. They should consider suspending the Director General from duty pending the outcome. We urge Member States to act to protect WIPO! #WIPO #UN80
