	Kofi Annan Brief Biography
		Annan, the first fl African Secretary General and the first to rise to the top position from within the ranks of the UN staff, is appreciated not only for his political acumen, but for his respect for and willingness to work collaboratively with his colleagues.
		While Annan shared some responsibility, and characteristically apologized for his judgement errors, the main crises resulted not from Secretariat or secretary-general failures, but from the refusal of the major Security Council members to adequately respond and back the UN efforts.
		Under Annan, the UN has greatly increased its use of modern communications and he has pushed the organization to be more open and accountable.

	The White House Should Call on Kofi Annan To Resign
		Annan himself must be held responsible for numerous failures under his watch as a senior U.N. official (including his tenure as head of U.N. peacekeeping), from his refusal to confront genocide in the Sudan, Rwanda, and Bosnia, to his appeasement of Saddam Hussein’s regime.
		Annan’s inability to stand up to Saddam Hussein while he was in power and his subsequent refusal to support the use of force against the terrorist groups now spreading fear across Iraq are symbolic of the U.N. Secretary-General’s broader failure to confront terrorism, brutal dictatorships, and acts of genocide.
		Annan has become a symbol of the U.N.’s culture of arrogance, secrecy, mismanagement, weakness, and impotence, and it is time for a new figure at the helm, a secretary-general who will seek real reform of the U.N. bureaucracy and aggressively stand up for democracy, human rights, and freedom on the world stage.
