Annan with Sudan's dictator Omar al- Bashir - who is wanted for genocide. Shameful Lack <strong>of</strong> Ethics As an international public servant, the Secretary General should not have accepted money from a U.N. member state or a private foundation, either as an award or gift. He should also have completely disclosed his personal finances, as many Western politicians do. He also should have abided by the same strict ethics and disclosure rules that apply to political figures in major democracies, such as in the United States and Great Britain. Annan talked about accountability, but his own leadership betrayed the emptiness <strong>of</strong> his words. A secretive culture <strong>of</strong> impunity still dominates the upper echelons <strong>of</strong> the U.N. Secretariat. A Broken Institution In an interview with the London Daily Telegraph, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, described the U.N. as “hopelessly out <strong>of</strong> touch” and “stuck in a Twilight Zone-style time warp" where "there are practices, attitudes and approaches that were abandoned 30 years ago in much <strong>of</strong> the rest <strong>of</strong> the world." In a March 2006, poll conducted by Gallup in the United States, recorded the most negative rating for the U.N.: Just 28 percent had a positive 6 image <strong>of</strong> the U.N. “Today's United Nations is a broken institution in fundamental need <strong>of</strong> wholesale reform. That is Annan's legacy and the United States and the world looks forward to new leadership at Turtle Bay - leadership that is untarnished by scandal and actually lives up to the ideals <strong>of</strong> the U.N.'s own Declaration <strong>of</strong> Human Rights. The U.N. needs a Secretary General who will seek real reform <strong>of</strong> the U.N. bureaucracy and aggressively stand up for democracy, human rights and freedom.”- Nile Gardiner, Ph.D. (the Bernard and Barbara Lomas Fellow in and Director <strong>of</strong>, the Margaret Thatcher Centre for Freedom, a division <strong>of</strong> the Institute for International Studies, at The Heritage Foundation.) “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves <strong>of</strong> corruption…” 2 Peter 2:19 Homosexual ‘Marriage’ UNITED NATIONS, August 5, 2003 (LifeSite<strong>News</strong>.com) - United Nations Secretary General K<strong>of</strong>i Annan came out in favour <strong>of</strong> homosexual ‘marriage’. Annan attended part <strong>of</strong> a homosexual activist conference held at the United Nations. The conference demanded that international treaties such as the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights include rights for homosexual couples. A United Nations release said the Secretary General was “glad to be able to attend” part <strong>of</strong> the event. On the issue <strong>of</strong> same sex marriage, his personal view, was “that individuals should be allowed to make their own choices and that we should be careful not to draw conclusions, or adopt prejudicial attitudes, towards people for their choices and preferences”. The United Nations, through its various committees has been in the forefront <strong>of</strong> advocating international acceptance <strong>of</strong> homosexuality and the bestowing <strong>of</strong> rights normally reserved for the family on homosexual unions. Annan and most other de-populationists see legitimization and protection <strong>of</strong> homosexuality as one more way to keep procreation down and to undermine marriage and other institutions (especially religious) that emphasize that children are a blessing. Annan Supported Abortion K<strong>of</strong>i Annan has emphasized that “sexual and reproductive health is an essential part <strong>of</strong> human rights.” That is, he supported abortion and other population control measures, including explicit sex education, to the extent that they should be declared “human rights”. Ultimately, though, this emphasis on a new category <strong>of</strong> “human rights” has as its real purpose to advance the agenda <strong>of</strong> what K<strong>of</strong>i Annan says is the “need to stabilize the population <strong>of</strong> this planet.” All this makes it extraordinary that some Christians have saluted and hailed K<strong>of</strong>i Annan as: “A great African diplomat and leader!” “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the Judgment.” Hebrews 9:27 Dr. Peter Hammond www.<strong>Frontline</strong>MissionSA.org FRONTLINE FELLOWSHIP <strong>2018</strong> EDITION 3
