Annan with Sudan's dictator Omar<br />

al- Bashir - who is wanted for genocide.<br />

Shameful Lack <strong>of</strong> Ethics<br />

As an international public<br />

servant, the Secretary General<br />

should not have accepted money<br />

from a U.N. member state or<br />

a private foundation, either<br />

as an award or gift. He should<br />

also have completely disclosed<br />

his personal finances, as many<br />

Western politicians do. He also<br />

should have abided by the same<br />

strict ethics and disclosure rules<br />

that apply to political figures<br />

in major democracies, such<br />

as in the United States and<br />

Great Britain. Annan talked<br />

about accountability, but his<br />

own leadership betrayed the<br />

emptiness <strong>of</strong> his words. A<br />

secretive culture <strong>of</strong> impunity still<br />

dominates the upper echelons <strong>of</strong><br />

the U.N. Secretariat.<br />

A Broken Institution<br />

In an interview with the London<br />

Daily Telegraph, U.S. Ambassador<br />

to the United Nations, John<br />

Bolton, described the U.N. as<br />

“hopelessly out <strong>of</strong> touch” and “stuck<br />

in a Twilight Zone-style time<br />

warp" where "there are practices,<br />

attitudes and approaches that were<br />

abandoned 30 years ago in much <strong>of</strong><br />

the rest <strong>of</strong> the world." In a March<br />

2006, poll conducted by Gallup in<br />

the United States, recorded the<br />

most negative rating for the U.N.:<br />

Just 28 percent had a positive<br />

6<br />

image <strong>of</strong> the U.N. “Today's United<br />

Nations is a broken institution in<br />

fundamental need <strong>of</strong> wholesale<br />

reform. That is Annan's legacy and<br />

the United States and the world<br />

looks forward to new leadership<br />

at Turtle Bay - leadership that<br />

is untarnished by scandal and<br />

actually lives up to the ideals <strong>of</strong><br />

the U.N.'s own Declaration <strong>of</strong><br />

Human Rights. The U.N. needs a<br />

Secretary General who will seek<br />

real reform <strong>of</strong> the U.N. bureaucracy<br />

and aggressively stand up for<br />

democracy, human rights and<br />

freedom.”- Nile Gardiner, Ph.D. (the<br />

Bernard and Barbara Lomas Fellow in<br />

and Director <strong>of</strong>, the Margaret Thatcher<br />

Centre for Freedom, a division <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Institute for International Studies, at<br />

The Heritage Foundation.)<br />

“While they promise them<br />

liberty, they themselves are<br />

slaves <strong>of</strong> corruption…” <br />

Homosexual ‘Marriage’<br />

UNITED NATIONS, August<br />

5, 2003 (LifeSite<strong>News</strong>.com)<br />

- United Nations Secretary<br />

General K<strong>of</strong>i Annan came out in<br />

favour <strong>of</strong> homosexual ‘marriage’.<br />

Annan attended part <strong>of</strong> a<br />

homosexual activist conference<br />

held at the United Nations.<br />

The conference demanded that<br />

international treaties such as<br />

the United Nations Declaration<br />

on Human Rights include<br />

rights for homosexual couples.<br />

A United Nations release said<br />

the Secretary General was “glad<br />

to be able to attend” part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

event. On the issue <strong>of</strong> same sex<br />

marriage, his personal view, was<br />

“that individuals should be allowed<br />

to make their own choices and that<br />

we should be careful not to draw<br />

conclusions, or adopt prejudicial<br />

attitudes, towards people for their<br />

choices and preferences”. The<br />

United Nations, through its<br />

various committees has been<br />

in the forefront <strong>of</strong> advocating<br />

international acceptance<br />

<strong>of</strong> homosexuality and the<br />

bestowing <strong>of</strong> rights normally<br />

reserved for the family on<br />

homosexual unions. Annan and<br />

most other de-populationists see<br />

legitimization and protection <strong>of</strong><br />

homosexuality as one more way<br />

to keep procreation down and to<br />

undermine marriage and other<br />

institutions (especially religious)<br />

that emphasize that children are<br />

a blessing.<br />

Annan Supported Abortion<br />

K<strong>of</strong>i Annan has emphasized that<br />

“sexual and reproductive health is<br />

an essential part <strong>of</strong> human rights.”<br />

That is, he supported abortion<br />

and other population control<br />

measures, including explicit sex<br />

education, to the extent that<br />

they should be declared “human<br />

rights”. Ultimately, though, this<br />

emphasis on a new category <strong>of</strong><br />

“human rights” has as its real<br />

purpose to advance the agenda<br />

<strong>of</strong> what K<strong>of</strong>i Annan says is the<br />

“need to stabilize the population<br />

<strong>of</strong> this planet.” All this makes<br />

it extraordinary that some<br />

Christians have saluted and<br />

hailed K<strong>of</strong>i Annan as: “A great<br />

African diplomat and leader!”<br />

“And as it is appointed for men<br />

to die once, but after this the<br />

Judgment.” Hebrews 9:27<br />
