| Kofi Annan b: Kumasi, Ghana, Apr 8, 1938 Ghanian. Diplomat. Known for his serene, soft-spoken diplomacy, the seventh secretary-general of the United Nations is the first black African to hold that position. Above all else, we need a reaffirmation of political commitment at the highest levels to reducing the dangers that arise both from existing nuclear weapons and from further proliferation. Business, labor and civil society organizations have skills and resources that are vital in helping to build a more robust global community. Globalization is a fact of life. But I believe we have underestimated its fragility. If the United Nations does not attempt to chart a course for the world's people in the first decades of the new millennium, who will? Iraq has a new opportunity to comply with all these relevant resolutions of the Security Council. More countries have understood that women's equality is a prerequisite for development. Twenty-four hours: to give relief workers a safe interlude for the provision of vital services; to offer mediators a building block towards a wider truce; to allow all those engaged in conflict to reconsider the wisdom of further violence.We have to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face. |
