Description
As Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan has confronted numerous challenges both before and during his tenure.Critics allege that Annan failed his responsibilities, citing inaction in the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and the Iraqi Oil-for-Food scandal of 2004. Annan’s proponents however, point to his creativity and mastery of diplomacy as the hallmarks of his success. But on what basis has Annan been judged: fact or fiction; skill or skin color; performance or prejudice? How wll he be judged by posterity? Bagudu’s book also reviews Annan’s major decisions in the area of peacekeeping, rule of law, fundamental human rights,threats to world peace and UN reform. The author provides an overview to Annan’s UN reform agenda and reviews the Secetary-General’s creative approach to various international crisis and how irrelevant factor such as race and political ideology have hampered a fair assessment of Annan’s performance. Bagudu concludes that despite Annan’s human limitions and weaknesses, history indeed holds a spot for him based on his significant achievements with the underprivileged through the instrumentality of the UN.
