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 />
