Well the permanent members of the security council seem to agree he's useless. Fire him. Thats reform.
Hey lets take that money and spend it on the poor....rather than give it to the UN and its bureaucracy.
Yup, Kofi can't even hire good bill collectors. All he can do is appoint dictators to chair Human Rights.
Jesus Christ, to take the name of your lord in vain, do you guys know anything about the UN?
Annan has the support of everybody except the US. That has been made clear time and again.
The UN does more to distribute aid, fight disease, and to promote democracy than anybody else. If you knew anything about them, you would know that.
If you'd bothered looking into Annan's proposed reforms, you'd know that they address everything you've brought up. I'll bet not one of you has read the report that includes those reforms though, even though it is available for free on the UN site.
The SG doesn't appoint the Human Rights Commission, the General Assembly does. When the General Assembly gets pissed off at the Security Council, or specific members (read the USA) of the Security Council, they send messages by doing things like putting Libya in at the top of the Human Rights Commission. It's not a good system...pretty much self defeating...but the unequal power given to five members of the Security Council leaves the General Assembly few ways of gaining any attention, so they do it.
Annan's proposed reform for the Human Rights would prohibit human rights abusers from sitting on that commission. Bush is opposing that specific reform because recent US actions would very likely prohibit it from sitting on the Human Rights Commission.
Here's an idea. Type un.org into your little windows and hit the go button. Do some research. Learn the facts instead of regurgitating inaccurate spin and outright lies. It will keep you from looking like idiots.
