Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has participated in a forum hosted by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL). The event focused on geopolitics and marked the launch of a new report co-chaired by Bachelet and former Colombian President Iván Duque.

The report, titled "Ruptures and opportunities: proposals for Latin America and the Caribbean to prosper in the new geopolitical era," was developed by a diverse team of 13 experts from the region, North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Bachelet attended the launch at CEPAL's headquarters in Santiago, Chile, highlighting the commission's effort to analyze and propose strategies for the region amidst evolving global dynamics.

This participation occurs while Bachelet is reportedly in contention for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations. Her involvement in discussions on geopolitics and regional development underscores her continued engagement with international affairs and her potential role in shaping global policy.
