Kofi Annan General Quotations

I think we should see a clear message in the overwhelming success of women in presidential elections over the past year: the world is ready for a woman as secretary general of the United Nations.

It appears that the United States will squeak by, paying just enough to avoid losing its vote in the General Assembly. While the United States will avoid this fate for this year, on the larger question - its legal commitment and its moral obligation

The Russian ambassador said, 'But what are you complaining about? You've had more time than God.' ... And I explained to him that God had one big advantage: He worked alone, without the General Assembly and the Security Council and the committees.

.... Press freedom, right to information and freedom of expression in Nepal are in serious danger and thus deserve to be a special agenda in the upcoming UN General Assembly.

I don't think anyone can remove it from the general public's perception of how we are moving ahead with development.
