Excerpt: Ban Ki-moon (Hangul: ; born 13 June 1944) is the eighth and current Secretary-General of the United Nations, after succeeding Kofi Annan in 2007. Before becoming Secretary-General, Ban was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. In the foreign ministry he established a reputation for modesty and competence. Ban was the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea from January 2004 to November 2006. In February 2006, he began to campaign for the office of Secretary-General. Ban was initially considered to be a long shot for the office. As foreign minister of Korea, however, he was able to travel to all of the countries that were members of the United Nations Security Council, a maneuver that turned him into the front runner. On 13 October 2006, he was elected to be the eighth Secretary-General by the United Nations General Assembly. On 1 January 2007, he successfully succeeded Annan, and led several major reforms regarding peacekeeping and UN employment practices. Diplomatically, Ban has taken particularly strong views on Darfur, where he helped persuade Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to allow peacekeeping troops to enter Sudan; and on global warming, pressing the ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2346975 ...

Excerpt: Aung San Suu Kyi (Burmese: ; MLCTS: ; Burmese pronunciation: ) (born 19 June 1945) is a Burmese opposition politician and General Secretary of the National League for Democracy. In the 1990 general election, Suu Kyi was elected Prime Minister, as leader of the winning National League for Democracy party, which won 59% of the vote and 394 of 492 seats. She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She has remained under house arrest in Myanmar for almost 14 out of the past 20 years. Suu Kyi was the recipient of the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992 she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the Government of India. She is frequently called Daw Aung San Suu Kyi; Daw is not part of her name, but is an honorific similar to madam for older, revered women, literally meaning "aunt". Her name is derived from three relatives; "Aung San" from her father, "Kyi" from her mother and "Suu" from her grandmother. Strictly speaking, she has no surname, but it is acceptable to refer to her as "Ms. Suu Kyi" or "Dr. Suu Kyi", since those syllables serve to distinguish her from her father, General Aung San, who is considered to be the father of modern-day Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi was born on 19 June 1945 in Rangoon. Her father, Aung San, founded the modern Burmese...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2847 ... Read more

Excerpt: Kofi Atta Annan (born 8 April 1938) is a Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2006.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Anna Stepanovna Politkovskaïa (russe : Анна Степановна Политковская), née Mazépa (russe : Мазепа) le 30 août 1958 à New York, assassinée le 7 octobre 2006 à Moscou, était une journaliste russe connue pour son opposition à la politique du président Vladimir Poutine, sa couverture du conflit tchétchène et ses critiques virulentes envers les autorités actuelles de la république caucasienne. Le procureur général de Russie, Iouri Tchaïka, supervise l'enquête sur ce meurtre, confiée au service des affaires particulièrement graves du Parquet général de Russie. Les enquêteurs privilégient l'hypothèse selon laquelle sa mort est liée à ses activités professionnelles. Le 9 octobre 2007 le procureur général Tchaïka a déclaré que l'« affaire Politkovskaïa » a été élucidée. Auparavant, il a annoncé l'arrestation de dix suspects dont les noms n'ont pas été divulgués. Le Parquet déclara cependant être en train de rechercher le commanditaire du meurtre. Née à New York, elle est fille de diplomates. Son père, Stepan Mazepa, travaillait à la mission de la RSS d'Ukraine auprès de l'ONU. Après des études de journalisme à Moscou qu'elle termine en 1980, elle commence sa carrière au journal Izvestia. Depuis juin 1999, elle écrivait des articles pour le journal en ligne Novaïa Gazeta. En 2001, elle s'était réfugiée plusieurs mois en Autriche après avoir reçu des menaces par courriers électroniques. Les mes...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
