From the author: A farewell address by Kofi A. Annan held at the African Development Forum on November 16, 2006 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in which he states that development is never a gift bestowed on any country from outside, and thus, it has to be achieved by the hard work and enterprise of the country's own people. And in his conclusion, he pledges to devote himself to the welfare of Africa.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Reform of the United Nations Security Council encompasses a variety of proposals, including procedural reforms, such as eliminating the veto held by the five permanent members, and expansion of the Council. In practice, "Security Council reform" usually refers to plans to restructure or expand its membership.The General Assembly Task Force on Security Council Reform has delivered a Report (on the question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council) recommending a compromise solution for entering intergovernmental negotiations on reform.The report builds on existing transitional/intermediary approaches to suggest a ?timeline perspective?. The ?timeline perspective? suggests that Member States begin by identifying the negotiables to be included in short-term intergovernmental negotiations. Crucial to the ?timeline perspective? is the scheduling of a mandatory review conference ? a forum for discussing changes to any reforms achieved in the near-term, and for revisiting negotiables that cannot be agreed upon now. ...

From the supplier: United Nations (UN) Sec.-Gen. Kofi Annan should be aware of the problems that have plagued former Sec.-Gen. Boutros Boutros Ghali's term due to US' refusal to cooperate with the UN. US has served as a major stumbling block in UN's achievement of its objectives despite its role in the formation of the latter. Annan must also find ways to eliminate the perception that UN is a weak and acquiescent body.

Excerpt: Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (19811989) and the 33rd Governor of California (19671975). Born in Tampico, Illinois, Reagan moved to Los Angeles, California in the 1930s. He began a career as an actor, first in films and later television, appearing in 52 movie productions and gaining enough success to become a household name. Though largely a B film actor, some of his most notable roles are in Knute Rockne, All American and Kings Row. Reagan served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and later spokesman for General Electric (GE); his start in politics occurred during his work for GE. Originally a member of the Democratic Party, he switched to the Republican Party in 1962. After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 as well as 1976, but won both the nomination and election in 1980. As president, Re...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25433 ... Read more

A strange little pamphlet
This book is really much shorter than one would expect from 88 pages plus covers.There isn't much on those 88 pages.But what is on them is interesting.

There is a brief introduction by Shashi Tharoor.After that is a short speech by Kofi Annan.In that speech Annan does say "let us acknowledge that the United Nations' record on anti-Semitism has at times fallen short of our ideals."And he calls the 1975 resolution equating Zionism with racism (since rescinded) "especially unfortunate."These are mild words from Annan, but they ought not be ignored.Slaughters of Jews were often triggered by a few words, and opposition to such slaughters may similarly be triggered by what look to us now as just a few words.Annan needs to be applauded for saying what he did, even though I think he ought to have said more.

We then see a short but excellent speech by Elie Wiesel.Wiesel does mention the extremely counterproductive Durban racism conference, and I think Annan ought to have done so as well.

The rest of the book includes some very interesting photos, many of them well-chosen examples of anti-Semitic propaganda.I do think there is an exception: the flyer about a conference at Rutgers in 2003 does not look like an example of anti-Semitism but appears to be protesting an anti-Israel hate fest.This flyer ought to have been described as such, and I'm deducting a star for including it without explaining it. ...
