The case against Kofi...

The UN has become a corrupt and ineffective charade.

Michael van der Galien from The Moderate Voice directed me to this article from The Times of London:

Is there blood on his hands?
As Kofi Annan prepares to stand down as UN secretary-general, Adam LeBor investigates the accusations made against the world’s chief defender of human rights

Page 1 is the case against Kofi.

Page 2 is the case for Kofi, and page 3 tries to answer the question 'what is the UN?' and provides a nice list of likely successors to Annan.

I agree with Michael:

Under his rule, the UN has almost made itself irrelevant regarding serious issues facing the world today. Corrupt and ineffective are the first words that come to mind when I think about the UN these days.

Spot-on.
