		However, it is generally considered to be Asia's turn to fill the post and Clinton has denied such claims.

		One close observer at the UN said Annan’s moods were like a “sine curve” and that he appeared near the bottom of the trough.
		One revelation last week was that the UN had agreed to pay legal fees for Benon Sevan, the disgraced head of the oil for food programme, out of the funds raised from the Iraqi oil sales.

		Kosovo and Bosnia were disasters because he handed them over to UN workers (including the one who ordered the murder of Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994).
		Whereas it is unlikely that Clinton can obtain the post due to his former position as President of the United States and the precedent of the UN to be lead by people of less prominent countries, the UN is also about to go through its worst crisis period yet.
		I think the UN is in major trouble and that more scandals will be breaking loose in the months to come.

		Helmut Volger, with a foreword by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
		The United Nations may have a weakened position in the international system and may be in need of reform, but given the UN's continuing role as a forum for national differences and as a central actor on the world stage, a specialized reference work on it is still desirable.
		Despite this rather long list of deficiencies, the overall evaluation is positive: the last German-language reference work on the UN appeared in 1991, and the present one is up-to-date and pedagogically oriented, with rich bibliographic underpinnings.
