Miroslav Lajčák officially submitted his secretary general candidature on May 27, 2016 and became the official Slovakian candidate for the 2016 UN Secretary-General selection.
An issue that the United Nations has been widely criticized on is the sexual exploitation and abuse by UN peacekeepers. This gross problem was brought to light after Anders Kompass exposed the sexual assault of children by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic. In his vision statement, Lajčák has expressed that has "zero tolerance policy on sexual violence and abuse by peacekeepers against civilian populations is a must. Such violations must be fully investigated and perpetrators brought to justice." When asked in his informal dialogues how peacekeeping operations could be strengthened, he said that there have been "three independent reviews that produced a number of recommendations that were turned into concrete resolutions of the Security Council, of the General Assembly, and now we have to implement." He has also consistently stressed the importance of a zero-tolerance policy for sexual exploitation and assault by peacekeepers, with every question asked in the informal dialogues. Lajčák believes that "It is only with zero-tolerance that the people can trust the United Nations." He is fluent in English, German, Russian, Bulgarian, as well as Serbian.Lajčák is divorced and remarried. His second wife is Jarmila Lajčáková-Hargašová, a TV news presenter.
On 16 December 2007 he received the Person of the Year award from one of the largest Bosnian dailies "Nezavisne novine". Two weeks later, on 28 December, he was awarded the same title by another Bosnian daily 'Dnevni Avaz'
