Kofi Annan

摘要

They say that Kofi Annan, the United Nations secretary general is an unhappy man today. He is fighting battles on different fronts to save his reputation, There are many alle- gations against him but the worse is the Iraqi oil-for-food scam involving his son. What is the truth behind these allegations? Has Mr Kofi really let the UN be used and abused by the sole superpower to further its interests? Has he been an activist or has he opted for a restraint role as a secretary general? Has he helped to establish peace and security as enshrined in the UN Charter or has he been part of the game plan to make the world chaotic? Why is there suddenly a hue and cry to overhaul the UN? Will it really make any difference or is there a need to scrap the organisation?
