Viewpoint Science home shop ... search Kofi Annan: gentleman diplomat October 2001 Kofi Annan Kofi Atta Annan, 63, winner of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, issued a millennium report in April 2000 titled We the Peoples: The Role of the United Nations in the 21st Century . It was a remarkable document, outlining goals for reducing global poverty, improving education for boys and girls in poor countries, and relieving the scourge of AIDS. "We must put people at the centre of everything we do," Annan said. "No calling is more noble, and no responsibility greater, than that of enabling men, women and children, in cities and villages around the world, to make their lives better." Barbara Crossette wrote in The New York Times He was born in Kumasi, Ghana, on April 8, 1938, a member of an upper-class merchant family that had descended from tribal chiefs. While boarding at a high school in Ghana, he once conducted a successful hunger strike to protest against the poor quality of food. He went on to the University of Science and Technology at Kumasi, then Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., Institut des Haute Étude Internationale in Geneva, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned a master's degree in management. Annan is the first secretary general to have worked his way to the top job through the ranks, being a 30-year UN veteran. He performed brilliantly in the early 1990s, negotiating the release of Western hostages from Iraq after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. In 1994, Annan directed the withdrawal of UN forces from Somalia. In the mid-1990s, he served as the special representative for the UN peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia.
