Annan said the Americans and the British could have stopped the smuggling but did not, and most of the money Saddam Hussein made illegally when his country was under U.N. sanctions in the 1990s was from smuggling oil, not from kickbacks under the U.N. oil-for-food program.
Annan partly excused the smuggling to Turkey and Jordan, saying the U.N. Charter requires states affected by sanctions on another country to be compensated.
Annan: "Beginning at least by 2000, Saddam's government, which had the power to choose who would have the right to purchase oil, demanded that those it dealt with be willing to pay kickbacks.

Annan’s statement that the war was “illegal” is both false and spurious.
By Annan’s logic, the 1999 U.S./British-led intervention in Kosovo, which was conducted without benefit of a Security Council resolution, also was “illegal” despite the fact that the international community supported it.
Annan’s ill-timed comments should be seen as a poorly judged attempt to indirectly influence the U.S. presidential election.

In lifting Kofi Annan to the pre-eminent status occupied by Nobel Peace Laureates, the Nobel Committee has sent a signal to the world: The route to peace with security lies in the strategies promoted by the UN to deal with the key areas of conflict, sustainable development, equity and justice.
Kofi Annan, in his quiet, unassuming manner, has accomplished much and is held in the highest regard by the UN's 189-member countries, as was revealed in their unanimous reappointment of him as Secretary-General for a second five-year term.
That is why Secretary-General Annan urged, in the wake of September 11, what he called a "redoubling" of efforts to strengthen key treaties banning weapons of mass destruction to ensure that nuclear materials do not fall into the hands of terrorists.
